Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling in your view, O honorable Shaykh, regarding those who enter restrooms with either Qur'ans or papers containing dhikr or hadith in their pockets? I hope you will provide us with guidance on this?
The Shaykh : As for their entering with Qur'ans, many scholars have explicitly stated that this is forbidden.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And it is not permissible for a person to enter the restrooms with a Qur'an, out of respect for the Qur'an. As for anything other than that, entering with it is not forbidden. A person often needs to enter with papers containing hadith, dhikr, or the words of scholars, and there is no correct, explicit evidence indicating that this is disliked. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This listener, N.M. from Jordan, says.
