Question:
The Honorable Shaykh says: Does Allah’s saying
(78) In a Register well-protected; (79) None touch it except the purified.فِي كِتَابٍ مَّكْنُونٍ لَّا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:78-79]
contain an indication that it is not permissible for a person in a state of ritual impurity to touch the mushaf itself, and what is the basis for this?

Answer:
Yes. Ibn al-Qayyim says in his book *Aqsam al-Qur'an* (Categories of the Qur'an). He has a good book titled *Aqsam al-Qur'an*, in which he mentions every category in the Qur'an and explains it, and he speaks in a very good manner. He states that this verse indicates, by way of implication, that a human being does not touch the mushaf except in a state of ritual purity. Because if the angels are described as pure, and “none touch it except the purified,” then this is an indication by implication. Do you know the types of indications? One of them is the indication by implication.
