The ruling on entering the toilet with something containing the remembrance of Allah in one's pocket
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people say that if you put something containing the remembrance of Allah in your pocket, there is no harm in entering the toilet with it, because the pocket is like a safe. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
It is a general matter, my brother. The hadiths are general. It is as if he places his ring outside the toilet. The hadiths are general, whether it is in your pocket or exposed. However, some scholars say that if he puts it in his pocket, the ruling becomes lighter, because it is narrated that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would turn his ring so that the stone was in his palm and he would grip it. Is this narrated? Allah knows best. Yes.
