The ruling on placing the mushaf under a child's pillow to serve as a protection from Satan, and the ruling on carrying it in a pocket

Question:
This questioner is from the Syrian Arab Republic. He says in this question: What is the ruling on kissing the noble mushaf and placing it under the head while sleeping, and under the pillows of small children to serve as a protection for them from Satan and fear? And what is the ruling on carrying a small mushaf in the pocket? Please give us a ruling, and may Allah reward you.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions. As for the noble mushaf, it is obligatory to respect it, protect it, honor it, and revere it, because it contains the words of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is not permissible to place it under the head or use it as a pillow for an adult or a child, because that constitutes a degradation of it and a diminishment of its status. If the belief that it serves as a protection for a person or for children is added to that, then it is not permissible. It is not permissible to take the Qur'an as a protection to be hung on a person, placed under his pillow, or similar beliefs. As for placing the mushaf in a pocket, there is nothing wrong with it if there is a need for it, and if the Qur'an is thereby protected from degradation and from entering inappropriate places, such as entering the restroom. If he intends to enter the restroom, he takes the mushaf out of his pocket and places it in a suitable place until he comes out, and he does not enter the restroom with it. Yes.
