Is the remembrance of Allah in the toilet forbidden or disliked?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, is the remembrance of Allah in the toilet forbidden or disliked?
The Shaykh : If you mean by dhikr, as is generally understood, verbal and heart dhikr, then this is not permissible; it is forbidden without a doubt. This is because one does not purify the words of Allah from the places where His words must be kept pure.Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 3:139 There is no doubt that this is not permissible. [Al-Hajj 22:32] .
The Shaykh : If you mean by dhikr, as is generally understood, verbal and heart dhikr, then this is not permissible; it is forbidden without a doubt. This is because one does not purify the words of Allah from the places where His words must be kept pure.
I dislike mentioning Allah except in a state of purity
إنِّي كرهْتُ أن أذكُرَ اللهَ إلا على طهرٍAnd whoever honors the symbols of Allah - indeed, it is from the piety of hearts.
وَمَنْ يُعَظِّمْ شَعَائِرَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ تَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ
