Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is wudu required for reciting the Qur'an from memory?
Answer:
Wudu is not required for it, but it is recommended; it is better to recite the Qur'an while in a state of purity. However, if he intends to read from the mushaf, wudu is obligatory, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Muwatta Malik 15:1.
