What is the ruling on carrying religious books or Quranic verses in the front pocket while going to the toilet?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Jamia Binoria
Assalamu Alaikum! When a person goes to the toilet and if Manzil, Qur’an or a small religious book or some wordings of Qur’an and Hadees is with him in his front pocket, then what is the ruling on it? Though there is a little knowledge about the prohibition of it but one becomes compelled in many places where it is not possible to keep them out due to the possibility of getting it lost or stolen. Could you please guide us?

Yes! it is also allowed to hide such sacred writings or literature inside the pocket and go to the toilet for the apparent fear of getting lost or stolen, if kept outside.
