A child touching the mushaf without ritual purity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a child who has not reached puberty to touch the mushaf if he is not in a state of ritual purity?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible, neither for an adult nor for a child. What is not permissible for an adult is not permissible for a child. Touching the mushaf is forbidden for a child just as it is forbidden for an adult. However, they granted a dispensation for writing verses for a child on a board, because that is not a mushaf. It is for teaching him the Qur'an. It is a type of aid. This was practiced when people were studying in the kuttab (traditional schools). They would have verses or surahs on boards. They would read them. When they memorized them, they would erase them and write other verses. They said this because it is not a mushaf. It is a type of aid. Yes.
