Is it permissible to wear a necklace with the word Allah on it and to go to the toilet with it?
Necklace ends on which Allah, Muhammad (pbuh), asma al-husna are written are sold. Is it a sin to go to the toilet when they are around our necks? Is it permissible for the women who are menstruating to wear them? Is it permissible for a woman to have a sexual intercourse with her husband when she is wearing such a necklace? Are the same things valid for necklaces having prayers (jawshan, etc)?
Dear Brother / Sister,
A person who has a ring on which Allah's name or the Prophet's name is written should hide his ring. If the ring is on his left hand, he should remove it since he should use his left hand in the toilet for cleaning. (Ibn Abidin, V/ 317)
Accordingly, if a person has a necklace on which "Allah" is written, he can go to the toilet by covering it or by turning it inside out.
A woman can wear such necklaces and jawshan when she is menstruating. They can also be worn during an intercourse. However, if it is open, it is necessary to cover it.
