The ruling on placing the name of Allah in a garment pocket when entering the place of relief

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The Hanbali jurists say that if a person needs to enter the place of relief and has something with the name of Allah written on it, he should leave it outside. If he needs to bring it in with him, he should hold it in his hand and keep it under his control. The question is: does hiding such a thing in a garment pocket suffice for this?

Answer:
Yes. The ring, the ring: if a person is wearing a ring, he should turn it so that the inscription is on the inside of his palm. As for something other than a ring, he may put it in his pocket; that is sufficient. If he fears for it—say, if he is outside the bathroom and fears it might be lost or stolen—he may put it in his pocket and enter with it. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
