Non-Muslims Cleaning Rooms Containing a Mushaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yasin from Ta'if, please, Yasin. We are with you. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. Peace. Please go ahead. See how it differs. May Allah bless you, please state your question, Yasin. I have two questions. The first is that I work in a hotel, and we have non-Muslims who clean the rooms. In every room, we have a mushaf that we place in the room. I do not know if, when he comes to clean, he takes the Qur'an and wipes over it and under it. What is the ruling on that? And if we warn him, he might do it behind our backs and we would not know. Okay, let us listen to the answer.

Answer:
My brother, raise the Qur'an and keep it in a place where the hand of the disbeliever cannot reach it. Raise the Qur'an to a place, or if there is no possibility of keeping the mushaf, do not place it in the room. This is not necessary. Do not place it in the room when you fear for it from the encroachment of the disbeliever. Yes.
