Who records our deeds while we are in the restroom, even though the angels do not enter it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Scholars have differed regarding the two recording angels entering the lavatory with a person. Some say they enter, while others say they do not.
If it is said that they do not enter, then this does not prevent them from recording what emanates from the person; for Allah will provide them with a sign for that.
It is also said that the angels avoid a person when he is relieving himself or engaging in intercourse, but their separation does not prevent them from recording what emanates from him in that state.
And Allah knows best how they record a person's deeds in the lavatory, for they do what they are commanded.
