The ruling on touching the screen of a mobile phone containing the mushaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the mushaf is stored in a mobile phone or computer, and the page is turned by touching the verse, is it permissible for a person in a state of ritual impurity to place his finger on the verse while he is in a state of ritual impurity?

Answer:
Directly, no. But if it is behind glass or behind a barrier, yes. His finger on the writing directly. If he places it on a barrier of glass or otherwise, there is no impediment. And the mobile phone is not called a mushaf. Yes. It is called a recorder. It is like a recorder. Yes.
