Prohibiting children from touching the mushaf without wudu'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, Umm Abdullah asks: Shaykh Salih, are children prevented from touching the mushaf when they are not in a state of wudu'? Because I have children who touch the mushafs in the house?

Answer:
Yes, they are prevented from what adults are prevented from. The verse says, "None touch it except the purified," meaning the angels in the hidden book, which is the Preserved Tablet. None touch it except the purified, meaning the angels. Only the noble angels touch the Preserved Tablet. This is an indication that the mushaf is also not to be touched directly except by one who is purified from major and minor ritual impurity. However, there is no harm in carrying it in a bag or with a barrier between the hand and the mushaf. Yes.
