The danger of entering the restroom without the remembrance of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He said: O Shaykh, I seek Allah's forgiveness. Is it true that the one who enters the restroom and does not say this phrase, "In the name of Allah," is seen by the jinn, and they see his private parts?
Answer:
Rather, it is not enough that they merely see him; rather, they may harm him, confusing his mind. Many people are afflicted with madness in the restrooms due to the mischief of the jinn. Had he used the remembrance of Allah before entering, he would have been safe from their annoyance. He should wipe three times with a tissue on the front, if that cleanses it from three directions, even with one stone or one tissue, if it cleanses, then he may uncover himself on the front. Yes.
