Hanging out in the bathroom unnecessarily
بـِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْم
For those who enjoy reading the newspapers, magazines,
phones or tablets as they relieve themselves in the bathroom – consider the
statement of Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah may Allah have mercy upon him.
He said: Do not remain there for a long time unnecessarily.
Remaining there without a need is hated because it is the place where the
devils assemble and the private areas are exposed. It has been narrated from
Luqman the wise that he said: Siting for lengthy amounts of time to relieve
oneself causes the kidney to bleed and it causes hemorrhoids.
