The ruling on touching the cover and binding of the mushaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah grant you success. Does the binding and cover of the mushaf count as part of the mushaf, such that it must not be touched except in a state of ritual purity?
Answer:
Yes, everything that is attached to the mushaf, such as its body, carries the same ruling as the mushaf. As for its cover, which is its wrapping or the box in which it is placed, this is separate from the mushaf and does not carry the ruling of the mushaf. However, its cover, which is its leather, and its binding, have not been separated from it; they are part of it and carry its ruling.
