Your phone rings Just as you enter the bathroom and sit on the toilet. You answer;the Muslim greets you, "as salaam 'alaikum!" What do you do?

modern technology call the type phone you go from room to room with AND into the bathroom, sometime as well, a CORDLESS PHONE. You take it in the bathroom for conveience, especially if one have to go badly and is expecting a call.

I usually return it. But I am not sure how islamically correct that is. I hate to explain that I am on the toilet! Anyway, I like you, sometimes bring it with me, especially when I am expecting a call.

A civilised person does nothing in a  bathroom than the intented thing that he went in their for. Answering the phone doesn't even come into question, let alone answering an Islamic greeting.


UmmAisha (15 May 2008, 3:51 am):
one question... who has a phone in the bathroom? another question... why would you answer it when you're on the toilet? Couldn't you just call them back.
