Touching the Annotated Mushaf Without Ritual Purity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to touch the annotated mushaf without ritual purity? By this, he means the mushaf that has a tafsir (exegesis) of the Noble Qur'an or of some of its words on its margins.
Answer:
If the annotated mushaf has the Qur'an placed in the center, within a frame of full pages, and the tafsir is on its margins and sides, then it is a mushaf, and it is not permissible to touch it except with ritual purity. However, if the verses are written with their tafsir or explanation of their meanings, and they are not on pages prepared in the manner of a mushaf, then there is no harm in touching them; because this is a tafsir, it is not called a mushaf, it is called a book of tafsir. Yes.
