The ruling on taking the mushaf with the left hand

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on taking the mushaf, that is, the Qur'an, with the left hand?

Answer:
There is no harm in it if his intention is merely to take it, whether he takes it with his right hand or his left hand. However, taking it with the right hand is better as a sign of respect for it, provided there is no harm in doing so and his intention is not to do anything wrong.
