Is it permissible for a person to enter the bathroom with a mushaf in his pocket?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : For example, if a person enters the toilet with the Qur'an, what is the ruling? Is it permissible to enter with it?
The Shaykh : The toilet, I mean...
The questioner : We say the bathroom, meaning the bathroom.
The Shaykh : Stick to the first point: the term "bathroom" is general in its meaning; it includes washing hands, it includes showering. But you said the toilet is where one needs to relieve himself, and he has a mushaf with him. Is it permissible? The answer is: if this mushaf, as is the case in reality, is not visible and is tucked away in the inner pocket of the jacket or the shirt or something similar, then he owes nothing. And if he enters the toilet with the mushaf like this, he owes nothing. What about the bathroom and the washing area, and so on? Is the answer clear to you?
The questioner : Sometimes a person has a mushaf and a bag like this, and he is traveling and needs to enter the place of relief. He cannot leave it outside so that it is not stolen, and his mushaf is in his pocket or in his bag. I understood the answer: there is no blame on him?
The Shaykh : There is no blame, yes.
