The Ruling on Placing the Mushaf in a Car for Memorization While Traveling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, my brother has the habit of placing a small mushaf in the car’s drawer, especially when traveling between cities. When I asked him about it, he said that it protects him until he returns home.
Answer:
This is not permissible. This action is a form of taking protective amulets and wearing talismans, which is not permissible. If he needs the Qur’an in order to read it during his travels, then carrying the mushaf with him to read from it while traveling is a good thing, or giving it as a gift to his brother is a good thing. However, if he takes it for the sake of protection, as he says, then this is an impermissible act, and it may compromise his creed; because it is a form of taking protective amulets and hanging talismans.
