The ruling on placing the mushaf in a car

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Placing the Qur'an in the car, as some people do, does this fall under the prohibited attachment of the Qur'an to the sky?

The Shaykh:
This has been answered before. Generally, if it is for the purpose of carrying the mushaf to read from it, to read in it, and to recite its verses, that is a good thing. One should not take it to the lands of the disbelievers, but rather hold it, protect it, and take care of it. That is fine. However, if his intention is to use it as a barrier in the car to ward off harm, then this falls under the prohibition of covering and protection.

The questioner:
And if I see someone doing this, am I required to ask about his intention?

The Shaykh:
Do not ask him unless you know that his intention is not to read the Qur'an with it. If you know from his state that he does not want to read, but rather wants to ward off the evil eye, then advise him.
