The ruling on leaning on the mushaf and extending one's legs toward it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on leaning on the mushaf? Also, I notice that some of the worshippers extend one leg or both legs toward the box that holds the mushafs. What is the ruling in such a case?
Answer:
It is not permissible to lean on the mushaf, nor is it permissible to use it as a pillow, because this is a form of disrespect toward it, and the noble mushaf is to be elevated. As for extending the legs, if they are far from the box, there is no harm. However, if they are close, and the mushafs are directly in front of his feet, and he extends his legs toward them while they are in front of his feet, this is not permissible. But if they are elevated, there is no harm in that. Yes.
