Is wudu' required when reading the Qur'an from a mobile phone?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, Shaykh, in addition to this question, does reading from the mobile phone require wudu'?

Answer:
It does not require wudu'; because the mobile phone is not a mushaf, and it does not take on the rulings of the mushaf. It is like reading from memory, which is permissible for one who is in a state of minor ritual impurity. As for one who is in a state of major ritual impurity, he does not read the Qur'an, neither from the mobile phone, nor from the mushaf, nor from memory, until he performs the full ritual bath.
