Is it permissible to enter the restroom with a mobile phone that has the Qur'an stored on it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there are mobile phones that store the complete mushaf, and some of them store the audio of the reciter of the Qur'an. Is it permissible to enter the restroom with them?

Answer:
Yes, this is silent and closed, and nothing appears on it. There is no visible or prominent writing in it, and there is no sound. I mean, it is not permissible to turn on a recorder inside the restroom; it is not permissible to operate the recorder. However, if you enter while it is silent, there is no harm in that, because it is a recorder or a mobile phone. It is not called a mushaf, it is not called a mushaf; it is called a mobile phone or a tape, so there is no harm in that. Yes.
