The ruling on kissing the mushaf and placing it on the forehead
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
'Ali says: What is the ruling on kissing the mushaf and placing it on the forehead or holding it to the chest, as some of our Muslim brothers from various countries do?
Answer:
There is no evidence for that. It was only done by some of the Companions as an exercise of independent legal reasoning (ijtihad). The mushaf is not to be kissed; rather, it is to be respected, preserved, elevated, and used for recitation. That is the right of the mushaf. As for kissing it or raising it to the head, that is the practice of the common people and the ignorant. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
