The ruling on reciting the Qur'an without performing wudu'

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. The questioner asks and says: Is it permissible to recite the Qur'an without wudu'?

Answer:
There is a distinction here. Reciting the Qur'an from memory is permissible without wudu'. As for reciting the Qur'an from the mushaf, and touching the mushaf, it is not permissible to touch the mushaf except with wudu'. So if one is reciting the Qur'an from memory, there is nothing wrong with it. If he is reciting from the mushaf, it is not permissible for him to touch the mushaf. However, if he reads from behind a barrier, turns the pages of the mushaf, and carries it from behind a barrier, there is nothing wrong with that. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) As for the one who is in a state of janabah, he does not recite the Qur'an in any way, neither from memory nor from the mushaf, until he performs ghusl.
