V1:64- Ruling on banknotes on which Allah's Name is written
64- Ruling on banknotes on which Allah's Name is written
Q: A question from Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah is asking: How can we deal with banknotes that bear the word of Tawhid (i.e., La ilaha illa Allah (there is no deity but Allah)? May Allah reward you well.
A: You can keep them in your pocket. Also, there is nothing wrong if you enter the toilet carrying them if you have to. According to the view of some scholars, it is Makruh (reprehensible) to enter the toilet carrying anything that bears the Name of Allah (Exalted be He). Yet, if a person has to do this and fears for their money or forgets them in their pocket, there is no reprehensibility in this. This is because leaving one's money outside the toilet may lead them to be stolen, forgotten or seized by children. In short, there is nothing wrong in doing this if there is necessity.
