Is it permissible for a person to enter the restroom with the mushaf in his pocket, given that it has been reported from you that this is permissible by analogy to preserving the Qur'an in the heart?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says:The questioner : Is it permissible for a person to enter the restroom with the mushaf in his pocket, given that it has been reported from you that this is permissible by analogy to preserving the Qur'an in the heart?
The Shaykh : As for what has been reported from me that it is permissible to enter with the mushaf in one's pocket, yes, I say that if one fears for the safety of the mushaf from theft if left outside. However, the claim that this is by analogy to what is in the heart is not from me. The questioner or the speaker for the questioner brought that up from his own bag, and I think his bag is a torn sack that holds nothing. There is a difference between this and that; there is a difference between the one who carries the Qur'an in his heart and the mushaf. But we say that if a person fears for the safety of the mushaf if he leaves it outside the restroom and puts it in his pocket, there is nothing wrong with that.
