Fathwa, - Ruling on entering the bathroom with coins thatbear the name of Allaah the exalted

Question
Some currencies bear phrases like 'none is trulyworthy of worship but
Allaah'. Is it permissible for one to enter the bathroom carrying such
currencies in his pocket? Does the same ruling apply to pieces of
paper on which some verses of the Quran are written? Thank you .
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
Indeed, revering the Name of Allaah The Exalted is an aspect of
revering Allaah The Exalted Himself, and it is arespectful gesture is
not to enter an impure place such as the bathroom with what bears the
Name of Allaah The Exalted. Allaah The Exalted Says (what means): {
That [is so]. And whoever honors the symbols of Allaah – indeed, it is
from the piety of hearts. } [Quran 22:32]
Hence, it is impermissible to carry those coins or scraps of paper
that bear the Name of Allaah The Exalted along with you into the
bathroom unless you fear that they will be stolen or lost if you leave
them outside the bathroom. They should be put inside a pocket or
hidden. Furthermore, one can empty his pockets from all scraps ofpaper
which bear the name of Allaah The Exalted that are not needed except
for coins and money that is necessary.
