The questioner : The hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ... Some of them cited this as evidence for the permissibility of remembering Allah ...
The Shaykh : Permissibility of what?
The questioner : Remembering Allah while relieving oneself?
The Shaykh : Because of her saying "in all his states," if we look at the wording, we would say yes, this includes it. But the situation is not appropriate. If the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade facing the qiblah or turning one's back to it while relieving oneself, all this being out of respect for the qiblah, then remembering Allah the Exalted is even more deserving of being avoided in this state. That is, our avoiding facing the qiblah while relieving oneself is an honor to the Ka'bah, and likewise, our avoiding dhikr is an honor to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
