I carry a mushaf and enter the bathroom with it in my pocket because it gets lost if I leave it outside; what is the ruling?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am a person who carries a mushaf in my pocket so that I can review the Qur'an at any time. However, if I want to enter the bathroom, I leave it outside, and as a result, I often lose it or forget it elsewhere. I have suffered greatly from this. Is it permissible for me to enter the bathroom with it and put it in my pocket?

Answer:
By Allah, it is not disliked or forbidden to enter the bathroom with something containing the remembrance of Allah or the Qur'an. Place it outside the bathroom in a known location and take it when you leave. There is no doubt that this is safer for you and more cautious. And if you lose it, the matter is easy; mushafs are readily available, praise be to Allah. Yes.
