The ablution of school students for touching the mushaf in memorizing the Qur'an

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for students in schools who are memorizing the Noble Qur'an to perform wudu (ablution), considering that this takes up class time, and if they do not perform wudu, the student must touch the mushaf?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
Considering that this takes up class time, and if they do not perform wudu', the student must handle the mushaf.

The Shaykh:
Wudu is obligatory, according to the correct view. This is a legal ruling. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , and this is agreed upon by the four Imams. Therefore, schools must give students the opportunity to perform wudu, unless the students are young children who have not reached the age of discernment, in which case they are excused. But if they are of discernment, there is no objection to them performing tawaf (circumambulation), and the school must give them the opportunity to perform wudu. This is a legal ruling. It takes precedence over the lessons, and adherence to it is mandatory. Yes.
The important thing is that they are enabled to perform wudu, and whoever wishes to perform wudu is allowed to do so for the sake of touching the mushaf. Yes, they should manage it, they should manage it, they should be able to manage them, they should be able to arrange for them, yes.
