Entering Toilet With Qur'an Application On The Phone

[ummtaalib]

Q. I would like to ask a question relating to an application on my phone. I have recently downloaded the full quraan on to my iphone. Is it permissible for me to keep this phone in my pocket if I enter the bathroom even if the application is closed?

 

 

(Query published as received)

 

 

A. If the Qur’an application is closed, it will be permissible to enter the toilet/bathroom with the phone.

 

 

And Allah Knows Best
