Entering the musjid in the state of janaabat

Question

If I am in a state of janaabat and I say bismillah before entering the masjid, is it kufr because I said bismillah before doing something haram (entering the masjid in the state of janaabat)?

Answer

It is not kufr. However, you should make tawbah for entering the musjid in the state of janaabat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
