The ruling on bringing something containing the remembrance of Allah the Exalted into the restroom

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions from Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz, who also asks: Is it permissible for me to bring the book of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) into the restroom, may Allah honor you? It contains the Verse of the Throne and the two chapters of seeking refuge (al-Mu'awwidhat)?

Answer:
It is disliked to enter the place of relieving oneself with anything containing the remembrance of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. If it is from the Qur'an, the dislike is even stronger. So do not enter the place of relieving oneself with anything containing the remembrance of Allah, except if you fear that it will be stolen or lost. In that case, there is no harm in bringing it with you and keeping it in your pocket. Yes.
