Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. From Taiz Governorate in Yemen, a listener whose name is indicated by the letters F, A, M, Y asks about the ruling on the mushaf that a person keeps in his pocket constantly, and may touch it without wudu'. What is your guidance, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with carrying the mushaf in the pocket or elsewhere, provided one maintains the honor of this mushaf and keeps it away from disrespect. If it exposes it to disrespect, such as entering the toilet with it, or taking off one's clothes and throwing it on the ground or in an inappropriate place, then this is not permissible. Or if one touches the mushaf directly while not in a state of wudu', then this is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Muwatta Malik 15:1. The conclusion is that carrying the mushaf is fine if it does not lead to its being disrespected, but if it leads to the mushaf being disrespected, then it is not permissible. Yes.
