Permissibility of Entering the Restroom with an Islamic Tape
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
What is the ruling on entering the restrooms with an Islamic tape if it contains the Qur'an?
First: Our brother greeted us while sitting with us, and this is not from the Sunnah; because the Companions used to ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in his gathering, and they did not begin with a greeting.
But since the questioner greeted us interpreting that the greeting is prescribed, we say to him: And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
As for tapes that contain the Qur'an, hadiths, or sermons, there is nothing wrong with entering the place of relieving oneself with them, because they are not written. Therefore, if you stopped the tape, you would not read anything from it, unlike written text. As for the written, it is forbidden for a person to enter the restroom with a mushaf (written copy of the Qur'an) unless he fears it being stolen or the like. But as for this, there is nothing wrong with it; because it is not written.
