Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) entered the bathroom, he would take off his ring.
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to remove his ring before entering the bathroom. It is noteworthy here that the use of the action itself “to enter” to express the intention “want to enter” is something acceptable. This is similar to the verse that reads: ﴿So when you recite the Qur’an, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan﴾ [Sūrat An-Nahl: 98]. In other words, when you want to recite the Qur’an, seek refuge with Allah, the Almighty. That was because the phrase “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah” was inscribed on the Prophet’s ring, as reported in Al-Bukhāri. So he used to take it off before entering the toilet. It is undoubtedly disliked, according to the scholars, to enter the bathroom with something containing any of the names or attributes of Allah, the Almighty, except if there is a need for this, like fearing that this item may be stolen or forgotten if left outside. In such a case, you may take it along with you; but you should conceal it, by putting it in your pocket, for example, or, if it is a ring, turning it and keeping the mention of Allah towards your palm. This exception is based upon the rule that says that “the necessity removes the undesirability.”
