planting dowels to slabs
(OP)
If you don't have existing dowels in the floor of the proposed bathroom... and it can support the load.. can you just insert 2 inches deep dowel bars (10mm) and put 4 inches hollow blocks and add the bars (vertical and horizontal) as you go along?

Is this a seismic area?

It will be for a comfort room measuring 5 feet by 5 feet and 7.8 feet high. There will be rebar reinforcement vertical and horizontal using 4 inches concrete hollow blocks. Let's say the bars are not connected to the floor slabs. The bathroom may suffer overturning moments? Do you have to fully moment connect the bottom of the restroom to the floor slabs?

As pointed out above a 4" masonry wall leaves little room for reinforcement.
