The ruling on carrying the mushaf while in a state of ritual impurity and entering the bathroom with it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
So write it in a small font. Do not write it while you are… As for carrying it while you are in a state of ritual impurity, there is no harm in that, if it is in your pocket, there is no harm in carrying it because it is protected by the pocket, and you do not touch it with your hand as long as you need it; leave it in your pocket. As for entering the bathroom with the mushaf or with something from it, this is not permissible. This is not permissible except in a case of dire necessity, if you fear that it will be stolen or that it will be disrespected, then carry it in your pocket out of dire necessity. Otherwise, you do not enter the bathroom with it; you place it in a place far from the bathroom.

The questioner:
And it is not the Shaykh; we study the two rights in the schools, and the students are different from others.

The Shaykh:
It is a hardship; there is a hardship in this. They get up from their position and run away into the streets, so there is no dire necessity. I say that in a case of dire necessity, there is no harm, and they are small children. Yes.

The questioner:
Of course, a point of variation.

The Shaykh:
No, it is a test for men; these are accountable persons who are certainly commanded to perform wudu', unlike children who have not reached puberty; leniency is shown to them. Yes.
