The ruling on reciting the Qur'an without wudu'

Question:
The questioner says: If I am reading from the book of Tawhid or a tafsir, and I am reading without wudu', and there are verses in it, what should I do?

Answer:
There is no harm in reading from the Qur'an without wudu'. The minor state of ritual impurity does not prevent reciting the Qur'an; it only prevents touching the mushaf. So do not read from the mushaf, meaning do not touch the mushaf directly with your hand. If you touch the mushaf through a barrier, there is no harm. And if you recite the Qur'an from memory without reading from the mushaf, this is also permissible. What prevents reciting the Qur'an is the major state of ritual impurity, such as being in a state of janabah, menstruating, or having post-natal bleeding. These are the ones who are prevented from reciting the Qur'an. Yes.
