The ruling on touching the mushaf and reading from it while in a state of minor ritual impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for one in a state of minor ritual impurity to touch the mushaf and read from it? And what is meant by the saying of the Exalted
The Shaykh:
as in the hadith, whether it is minor or major ritual impurity. However, the one who is in a state of minor ritual impurity is permitted to read from memory. As for the one who is in a state of major ritual impurity, he does not read, neither from memory nor by looking at the mushaf, until he performs the full ritual bath. Yes.
The questioner:
And he says regarding His saying[Al-Waqi'ah 56:79], can it be used as evidence for that?
The Shaykh:
In the hidden book, which is the Preserved Tablet, no one touches it except the purified ones among the angels, because the Qur'an is preserved and protected, and the devils do not approach it. However, Ibn al-Qayyim says that this contains an indicative sign that the human being also does not touch it except while in a state of purity, by way of indicative evidence, not explicit textual evidence. Yes.
