The Ruling on Remembering Allah While Performing Household Chores

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to seek forgiveness and glorify Allah while doing household chores, such as while tidying the rooms of the house, or while washing clothes, or ironing them, or other household tasks? Also, is it permissible to seek forgiveness and glorify Allah without performing ablution?

Answer:
Yes, yes, it is permissible for the Muslim man and woman to be attentive to the remembrance of Allah and the recitation of the Qur'an while working, whether building, preparing food, or other tasks. However, this is not done in the bathroom, in the place of relieving oneself, where one does not recite or remember. But in other places, in the kitchen, in the living room, in construction work, or otherwise, one recites, remembers Allah, and works, and praise be to Allah, it is all good. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said:
The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) used to remember Allah at all moments.كان النبي ﷺ يذكر الله على كل أحيانه
Sahih Muslim 373
This is the Sunnah, that you remember your Lord in all your states, standing or sitting, on the road, in the kitchen, in the construction site, on the road, or in other places that are not places for relieving oneself, meaning: they are not places for relieving oneself. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
