Mentioning the name of Allaah in the washroom
Question: 22015
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
A person should not mention the name of his Lord inside the washroom, because the place is not appropriate for that. If he remembers Him in his heart that is OK, so long as he does not say this out loud. Otherwise it is better not to say it out loud in this place; he should wait until he comes out.
