Is it permissible to enter the bathroom with a device or a cassette that has the words "Holy Quran" printed on its back?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The remembrance of Allah is to be kept pure from being taken into the bathroom. This is indicated by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who, when entering the lavatory, would remove his ring, which was inscribed with "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." Malik and others disliked taking anything that contains the remembrance of Allah into the lavatory. Ibn Qudamah and Al-Nawawi recommended keeping anything that contains the remembrance of Allah pure from being taken into the bathroom, unless there is a fear of it being lost and it is covered.
