The ablution of school students for touching the mushaf in the Qur'an class

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for students in schools to perform wudu' during the Qur'an class, considering that this takes up class time? And if they do not perform wudu', the student must touch the mushaf. Is it obligatory for students in schools to perform wudu' during the Qur'an class?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
Considering that this takes up class time, and if they do not perform wudu', the student must handle the mushaf.

The Shaykh:
Wudu' is necessary for touching; touching is a legal ruling. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , and this is agreed upon by the four Imams. Therefore, schools must give students the opportunity to do so, unless the students are young children who have not reached the age of discernment, in which case they are excused. But if they are of discernment, purity is necessary, and the school must give them the opportunity to perform wudu'. This is a legal ruling that takes precedence over the classes, and it must be adhered to.
The important thing is that they are enabled to perform wudu'. And whoever wants to be excused from wudu' and wants to perform it, they should be allowed to do so for the sake of touching the mushaf. Yes, they should be disciplined; if there is laxity, they should be disciplined; if they are capable, they should be disciplined; if they are capable, they should be placed in order. Yes.
