Taking cell-phones on which Quran has been recorded into the washroom

Question

Recently electronic devices and cell phones have become widespread, and it is possible to store audio recordings of the Quran in them. What is the ruling on taking such devices into washrooms?

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

It is not haraam to take these cell phones into washrooms because they do not come under the same rulings as the Mus-haf (printed copy of the Quran), even after Quran has been recorded in them, because it is sound which is hidden inside it, it is not writing that is visible.

And Allah knows best.
