The ruling on reciting the Qur'an and touching it without ablution

Question:
May Allah bless you. This Sudanese questioner says: A person is reciting the Qur'an and he is in a state of minor ritual impurity. Is that permissible for him?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with reciting the Qur'an from memory, even if one is not in a state of ablution. However, if he wants to read the Qur'an from the mushaf, he must perform ablution, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said . Therefore, he must perform ablution if he wants to read from the mushaf. But if he wants to recite from memory, meaning to recite from what he has memorized, there is no harm in his reciting while not in a state of ablution. Yes.
