Saying Bismillah.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people have the habit of saying "Bismillah" whenever they intend to do any of the ordinary things. Is there a basis for this, or is it to be condemned?
Answer:
Answer: The remembrance of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) and saying "Bismillah" is a form of taking refuge in the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is prescribed, except when a person is inside the place of relieving himself; in that case, he does not mention Allah with his tongue until he leaves, but he mentions Him in his heart.
