The ruling on leaning on wide supports that have Qur'ans behind them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on leaning on the supports in the mosques when there are places for Qur'ans on their back side, knowing that they are wide?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that if the supports are wide and the Qur'ans are on their back side, in front of the second row, for example. There is no harm in that; people need this. It is not required that the Qur'ans be in front of all the people, in front of the first row. And the second and third rows do not need Qur'ans, otherwise they would have to step over people's necks if they wanted to read a Qur'an. No, this is fine. Distributing Qur'ans in places in the mosque where the worshippers can access them is not a problem. And Allah the Exalted knows best. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
