Question:
He says: Sometimes I am looking for books, and often I touch the mushaf while I am not in a state of wudu'. What do you advise me to do? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is not permissible to touch the mushaf without wudu', based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
The mushaf is not to be touched except by one in a state of purity,لا يمس المصحف إلا طاهر،
However, if you touch it unintentionally while you are looking for a book, and your hand lands on the mushaf without intent, then there is no blame on you for that, if Allah wills, because you did not do it deliberately. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
