The Obligation of Respecting the Mushaf and Placing It in a Suitable Location

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Some of the brothers, when they are about to take the mushaf from the shelf, seem to snatch it away, and when they are about to put it back, they seem to throw it down. Sometimes some people place the mushaf on the ground. Do you agree with the guidance and advice?

The Shaykh:
It is obligatory to respect the mushaf because it contains the words of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); it contains the Qur'an, so it must be respected. Therefore, no one should touch it unless they are in a state of ritual purity, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
no-one should touch the Qur'an unless he was pureلا يمس القرآن إلا طاهر
Muwatta Malik 15:1
. It must be raised off the ground and placed in an elevated, suitable location. It must be placed with care and not thrown or discarded carelessly. The Book of Allah must be honored and respected. Yes.

The presenter:
You.

The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
