Question: Is it permissible for a person in janābah or a menstruant to carry a paper inscribed with the remembrance of Allah, supplications, and Qur’ānic verses—for preservation and healing? And is it permissible to carry that into the bathroom when relieving oneself?
Answer: If the item carried is in a plastic pouch or the like, then there is no harm in a menstruant or one in janābah carrying it; for what is forbidden is a menstruant’s or one in janābah directly handling the muṣḥaf, whereas when it is encased there is no direct handling—and this is when there is a need, such as for healing or protection.
If there is no need, it is preferable that the menstruant or one in janābah avoid carrying it.
- As for bringing it into the lavatory: if keeping away from items bearing Allah’s remembrance would cause hardship—such as when it is under the clothes, or there is fear of loss or forgetfulness—then there is no harm and no blame in entering the lavatory with it. If none of that applies, then it is preferable not to bring it into the lavatory.
