Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding the verse "None touches it except the purified," there is a teacher who teaches the students the Qur'an, but there is no water in the school or near the school. What is the ruling on touching the Qur'an?
Answer:
Touching the text of the Qur'an directly. Yes. It is not permissible except for one who is in a state of wudu', if he is purified. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Muwatta Malik 15:1 As for if they are small children, leniency is shown, but they are not given the complete mushaf; rather, they are given a part of it, or it is written for them on a board or the like, and leniency is shown regarding children. As for adults, purification is required to touch the Qur'an. No one touches the Qur'an except one who is pure. It is recommended that schools be equipped with water for wudu', for relieving oneself, and for prayer. Schools should be equipped; they should not be left without water. Yes.
