Taking cell-phones on which Quran has been recorded into the washroom
Question: 21792
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
It is not haraam to take these cell phones into washrooms because they do not come under the same rulings as the Mus-haf (printed copy of the Quran), even after Quran has been recorded in them, because it is sound which is hidden inside it, it is not writing that is visible.
And Allah knows best.
