A man entering the toilet with dirhams on him

Ibn Ulayyah said: I asked Ibn Abi Najih about a man who enters the toilet carrying white dirhams (silver coins). He said: Mujahid used to dislike it.

Hisham said: Al-Hasan saw no harm in a man entering the toilet carrying white dirhams (in that era the name of Allah Almighty or a verse of the Qur'an was written on dirhams, so the people of knowledge declared it disliked to take them into the toilet). Al-Qasim bin Muhammad, however, considered it disliked to take them into the toilet, while he saw no harm in buying and selling with them.

When Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman had to go into the toilet and he had white dirhams with him, he would hand them to someone who would hold them until he had made ablution.

Mughirah said: I asked Ibrahim: A man is urinating but he has white dirhams with him; what is the ruling? He said: Safeguarding one's wealth is also necessary for people.

Ibrahim said: I like that, while relieving myself, the dirhams be in a pouch or in my pocket.
