Ruling on entering the restroom with a mushaf?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If I enter the bathroom and have a mushaf in my pocket, or a booklet containing a surah from the Noble Qur'an, whether I am forgetful or not, what is the ruling? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions. As for what follows, the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) mentioned that it is disliked to enter the place of relieving oneself with anything containing the remembrance of Allah the Exalted and Majestic, because that exposes it to humiliation. Therefore, it is obligatory for the Muslim, if he has a mushaf or something containing the remembrance of Allah the Exalted and Majestic with him, to place it in a location, then enter to relieve himself, and then return this mushaf or this remembrance to its place with him, in order to keep the remembrance of Allah away from entering the bathroom. However, if he fears that this item will be stolen or lost, there is no harm in wrapping it with him inside his pocket or inside his clothes and entering with it for the sake of necessity. Yes.
