A man entered the restroom and did not recite the prescribed dhikr; if he remembers it while in the restroom, should he remember Allah with his heart without moving his lips?
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 to recite it before entering and recite it in my heart without moving my lips while I am in the restroom, is that permissible?
The Shaykh : It is permissible, but there is no benefit in it.
The questioner : Is that for nothing, O pilgrim? ...
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
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 in it.
The questioner : Is that for nothing, O pilgrim? ...
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
