Is it permissible to enter the bathroom wearing a ring upon which the name "Abdullah" is inscribed?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is preferable to keep everything that contains the remembrance of Allah from entering the bathroom. If a Muslim needs to enter the bathroom with something that contains the remembrance of Allah, he should conceal it and enter with it, such as placing a ring with Allah's name on it in the palm of his hand. As for papers containing Allah's name, it is permissible to enter the bathroom with them as long as they are in a pocket and concealed. Therefore, it is permissible to enter with a wedding ring if the inscription is on the inside and concealed, with the caveat that wearing a wedding ring for engagement is not appropriate due to its resemblance to the Christians.
