The Ruling on Touching the Mushaf for One in a State of Ritual Impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to grant you good hearing. The father says: The questioner asks, is it permissible for a person in a state of ritual impurity to hold the Qur'an from outside its cover?
Answer:
If it is outside the cover, meaning the bag containing the mushaf or the small box containing the mushaf, then there is no harm. But if the intention is the cover, meaning the leather of the mushaf, this is not permissible. What is attached to the mushaf has the ruling of the mushaf; it is not to be touched except in a state of ritual purity. But what is not attached to the mushaf, and is merely an external cover, there is no harm in touching it from behind a barrier, in a bag or in a small box, or yes.
