What is the ruling on writing in the mushaf, such as a memorization mark or a mark on the number of the required verse, and the like?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on writing in the mushaf on the side of a surah, or on the side of a surah, such as writing the name of the school or the student, or a memorization mark from such-and-such a verse to such-and-such a verse, or "excellent," or a mark on the number of the required verse, and the like? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to write in the mushafs, neither on the backs of the mushafs nor on their margins. It is obligatory to respect the mushaf and not to write anything on it. In fact, the Salaf disliked writing the tenths and the like, and they held that the speech of Allah (Exalted and Majestic) should be kept pure, so that no one else's speech is written with it. Writing in the mushafs in the manner mentioned by the questioner is a form of tampering with the mushaf, defiling it, and failing to respect it. One might write something unpleasant, or a joke from the jokes of some students, or the like. Therefore, it is obligatory to protect the mushafs from such matters. Yes.
The questioner:
Sometimes, Honorable Shaykh, we see printed materials that describe how to perform the prostration of recitation and the prescribed supplication, and these may be attached to the inside or outside cover of the mushaf.
The Shaykh:
Nothing is to be written in the mushafs, and nothing is to be attached to them. They are to remain pure, containing nothing but the speech of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
