DDHK. ORG – Reciting the Koran in the bathroom? Holy verses Alquran is something that is purified, while the bathroom is a space where dirt is made? is allowed?
Read Alquran including religious message which is at the same time a syiar belonging to Allah ta'ala which must be respected and positioned in its proper place
Allah ta'ala says;
"Thus (God's commandment), and whoever exalts the symbols of Allah, then indeed it arises from the piety of the heart".[1]
This is also similar to the Prophet Muhammad who did not answer someone greeting him while urinating.
عَنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ بْنِ قُنْفُذِ أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِىَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَبُوْلُ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ اعْتَذَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ؛ Amen
“From al-Muhajir Ibn Qunfudz that he came to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, at that time he was urinating. Then al-Muhajir greeted him, but he did not answer, until he finally made ablution, then apologized to al-Muhajir while saying; I do not like to mention the name of Allah except in a state of purity.".[2]
In general, the scholars differed on the law of reading Alquran in the bathroom, some forbid it and some forbid it. But read Alquran can be done in a low voice or whisper using the gadget you have.
Therefore, read Alquran can be done outside the bathroom unnoticed by the employer or someone who forbids it. Allah knows best. [DDHK News]
