662. What If A Person Sneezes In The Bathroom?

By Asma Bint Shameem

When a person sneezes while using the bathroom, he cannot say ‘Alhamdulillaah’ aloud because it’s not allowed to use the Name of Allaah In the bathroom. 

So we should. ‘say’ ‘Alhamdulillaah’ in the HEART, WITHOUT moving the lips and tongue.  

Imaam Ahmad said: 
“If a man sneezes (in the bathroom) he should praise Allaah in his *heart*.”

This shows that saying something in the *heart* does not count as actually ‘saying’ the words and thus it’s allowed to say Alhamdulillaah in the bathroom without moving the lips and tongue. 

And Allaah knows best
