Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person steps on a mushaf, is the one who does it a disbeliever or not? Whether it was done intentionally or unintentionally?
Answer:
If a person steps on a mushaf intentionally, and he knows it is a mushaf and knows it is the speech of Allah the Exalted, then we rule that he is a disbeliever, because this is a belittling of the mushaf and a belittling of the speech of Allah the Exalted. But if he stepped on it without knowing it was a mushaf, then no, we do not rule that he is a disbeliever, because he did not do it intentionally; he did not know it was a mushaf. Yes.
