The remembrance of Allah in the heart is prescribed at all times and in all places
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: A person is required to remember Allah at all times and in all states, except in places where the remembrance of Allah is prohibited, such as the bathroom, for example. Does a person have to completely stop remembering Allah in the bathroom, even in his heart?
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
A: The remembrance of Allah in the heart is prescribed at all times and in all places, in the bathroom and elsewhere. What is disliked in the bathroom and similar places is remembering Allah with the tongue, out of reverence for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), except for the mention of His name during ablution. One should say it if it is not possible to perform ablution outside the bathroom, because it is obligatory according to some scholars and a confirmed recommended practice according to the majority.
