Prohibition of bringing the mushaf into the bathroom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
May Allah preserve you, O honorable Shaykh, and make you a treasure for Islam and the Muslims! What is the ruling on bringing the mushaf into the bathroom? And can the same ruling be applied to Islamic tapes on which the Noble Qur'an is recorded?
Bringing the mushaf into the toilet or dirty places, the scholars have explicitly stated that it is forbidden; because that contradicts the respect due to the words of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), except if one fears that it will be stolen if left outside the toilet, or fears that he will forget it, in which case there is no blame.
As for the tapes, they are not like the mushaf; because the tapes do not contain writing; but the most that is there is that the grooves on the tape, when they pass through the specific device, produce the sound, so it is permissible to bring them in with no issue.
