The ruling on touching the mushaf from outside the cover
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Does the one who holds the Qur'an from outside the cover while in a state of ritual impurity commit a sin?
Answer:
If it is outside the cover, meaning the bag containing the mushaf or the small box containing the mushaf, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if the intention is the cover, meaning the leather of the mushaf, then it is not permissible. Whatever is attached to the mushaf has the ruling of the mushaf; it is not to be touched except in a state of ritual purity. As for what is not attached to the mushaf but is an external cover, there is nothing wrong with touching it from behind a barrier, such as a bag or a small box, or… Yes.
