What is the ruling on one who forgets the supplication for entering the restroom, then remembers it while inside and recites it in his heart?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We know that there is a supplication for entering the restroom: Sunan an-Nasa'i 19Sahih (Darussalam). If I forget, for example, to recite it before entering, and I recite it in my heart without moving my lips while I am... inside; is that permissible?
The Shaykh : It is permissible, but there is no benefit!
Allahumma inni a'uthu bika min al-khubuthi wal-khaba'ith (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from male and female devils)
اللهم إني أعوذ بك من الخبث والخبائثThe Shaykh : It is permissible, but there is no benefit!
