The questioner : The place of the invocation is the tongue, but if a person is in the restroom
The Shaykh : If we say that there is no harm in the remembrance of Allah while in the restroom, as is one of the opinions in this issue, then he should invoke,
The questioner : Let us look at the second opinion.
The Shaykh : If we say this, then he should invoke, even if one says it is recommended, based on the hadith of Aisha that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to remember Allah in all his states, meaning at all times, including when he was in the restroom. And if we say it is disliked: If we say the invocation is obligatory, he invokes, because dislike does not remove an obligation. If we say it is recommended, he does not invoke, because the implication of dislike is stronger than the implication of recommendation. Yes.
