Ruling on entering the bathroom with a mushaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If I have a mushaf in my pocket to read from wherever I am, and I enter the bathroom with it in my pocket, is there any issue with that? Also, sometimes I write verses on a piece of paper to help memorize them, and after memorizing them, I tear them up and put them in the trash can. Is there any issue with that? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
As for entering the bathroom with a mushaf, it is not permissible except in cases of dire necessity, such as if you fear it will be stolen if you leave it outside and no one is there to guard it; in that case, there is nothing wrong with it.
As for tearing up the verses you have memorized, if you tear them up so finely that no part of the remembrance of Allah remains, that is fine. Otherwise, bury them or burn them.
Tearing them up in a way that is not fine, where verses or the remembrance of Allah remains, is not sufficient, as you might find them in the garbage. However, if you tear them up so finely that nothing of the names of Allah remains, there is nothing wrong with it. And if you bury them or burn them, that is more complete, so that nothing remains, and the burial should be in good earth.
