Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on touching the Qur'an without wudu' (ablution) according to the stronger position, with evidence?

Answer:
It is not permissible to touch the Qur'an directly without ritual purity, based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
no-one should touch the Qur'an unless he was pureلا يمس القرآن إلا طاهر
Muwatta Malik 15:1
The four Imams agreed on this, that it is forbidden to touch the Qur'an directly without ritual purity, and this is their evidence. The hadith is the hadith of 'Amr ibn Hazm
no-one should touch the Qur'an unless he was pureلا يمس القرآن إلا طاهر
Muwatta Malik 15:1
As for touching it with a barrier between one's hand and it, or by means of something that holds it and touches the mushaf or the verse, such as a ruler, a pen, or the like, there is no harm in that. Or if he wears something on his hands and touches the mushaf, and his hands are covered by something, there is no prevention, because this is not direct. Yes.
