Is it permissible for a person to turn his back to the mushaf?

The questioner : May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on turning one’s back to the mushafs and leaning on the shelves on which the mushafs are placed?

The Shaykh : The first point: What is the ruling? Turning one’s back to the mushafs. Turning one’s back to the mushaf cannot happen from a Muslim who intends to insult it, absolutely not.
Do you agree with this? I mean, no Muslim would ever place the Qur’an behind his back while mocking it, absolutely not. But he might place it behind his back thinking that there is no harm in doing so, otherwise the Qur’an is the greatest thing in his view. The greatest thing among the words of humans.
So we do not say that he is mocking Allah or His words, but the scholars mentioned, may Allah have mercy on them, that it is disliked to turn one’s back to the mushaf, meaning to place it behind one’s back, because in this there is a type of disrespect toward it.
At least according to the appearance, and among this is what we see from some people: you find one who places the mushafs on top of sandals or around the pillars, and this is a mistake.
Because the mushafs must be honored, they must be revered, and placing them on top of sandals is a type of insult. Likewise, if the sandals are here and the mushaf is here, and the sandals are here and the mushaf is here, so he places the mushaf alongside the sandals, this is also a mistake. So a person must respect the mushaf and revere it. For this reason, it is not permissible for a person to touch it except while in a state of wudu and purity.
