The ruling on placing a foot on a mushaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Salih Abu 'Abd al-Majid says: Shaykh, in my workplace there are books on the lower shelf, slightly raised from the ground, which contain the name of Allah. Is it permissible for me to place my foot near them to rest my feet, and not out of necessity?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for you to extend your feet toward the mushaf. If the mushaf is level with your feet or beneath them, this is not permissible for you. However, if the mushaf is elevated, there is no harm in extending your feet beneath it. Yes.
The presenter:
Does this ruling apply to books other than the Noble Qur'an that contain the mention of Allah?
The Shaykh:
You must respect all scholarly books and beneficial books. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
