Fatwa #375022 September 2001United Kingdom
Is it necessary to remove a taweez when going to the bathroom?
Question
Respected Mufti, I am aware that when going to the bathroom to relieve oneself it is necessary to remove any rings, pendants etc that have the name of Allah or a verse of the Qur'an upon them. But is it necessary to remove them if one goes to the bathroom (a room which includes the toilet) simply to do wudu? Also I know that if a taweez or the like is sewn or waxed into clothing it is not necessary to remove the garment but what if the name of Allah or a verse is printed onto a T-shirt?
Answer
It is not necessary to remove rings, pendants, etc. when making Wudhu in a
bathroom that has an attached toilet.
However, it is advisable to do so as a mark of respect. The same ruling
applies in the case of making Wudhu with a Tshint that has Allah's name
printed on it.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
