Placing Qur'ans behind the backs of the worshippers in the first row
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: In some mosques, there are backrests that the worshippers sitting in the first row lean against. Some imams make use of these backrests by placing shelves on their backs, on which they put Qur'ans. As a result, the person sitting in the first row has a Qur'an behind his back. Is there any disrespect to the Qur'an in this?
Answer:
No. If there is a wall between his back and the Qur'an, separating his back from the Qur'an, and the Qur'an is behind the wall, then there is nothing wrong with this. Yes.
