Question
If I am in the bathroom and my family members are listening to a Torah lesson and I hear it, or if they are listening to piyutim, should I tell them to lower the volume? In a more extreme case, can I bring my computer and listen to piyutim?
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is forbidden to listen to words of Torah in places that are not clean.
However, if others are singing or speaking, you should try not to listen, and that is sufficient.
