The ruling on reciting the Qur'an without wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible for me to remember my Lord, such as by glorifying Him and seeking forgiveness with my heart, and to read from small books, such as a quarter of Surah Ya-Sin, without performing wudu?
The Shaykh:
In supplications, a person may remember Allah with his tongue, reciting the tasbih, the tamin, the takbir, and other types of prescribed dhikr. If he is in a state of ritual impurity, reading the Qur'an from memory without touching the mushaf is permissible for one who has minor ritual impurity. A person may read it in that state, on the condition that he does not touch the mushaf when he reads it, or if he has major ritual impurity. As for one who has major ritual impurity, he does not read anything from the Qur'an until he performs ghusl. Is there a specific form for a girl if she wants to read the Noble Qur'an?
The presenter:
She stands up for it.
The Shaykh:
There is no specific form.
