Question:
A man is reciting the Qur'an and he passed wind. Does he go back and perform wudu'?
Answer:
If he is reciting the Qur'an from memory, let him continue reciting, because reciting the Qur'an from memory does not require purity from minor ritual impurity. However, if he is reciting the Qur'an from the mushaf, he must not touch the mushaf except after performing wudu', based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) So he has to perform wudu' and then go back, hold the mushaf, and recite. Yes.
