Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I entered the bathroom with a piece of paper on which the name of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is written. Am I sinful for doing so?
Answer:
It is disliked to enter the bathroom with something containing the remembrance of Allah. You should leave it outside the bathroom, and when you come out, you take it. You place it in a location, and when you come out, you take it. The same applies to the mushaf; you place it in a location, and when you come out, you take it. However, if you fear for it from being stolen or lost, there is no harm in keeping it in your pocket for the sake of preserving it. Yes.
