Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a person finishes reading the Qur'an from the mushaf, is it permissible for him to leave it open and not close it, even though he is not reading from it?
Answer:
Why would he leave it open? No, he does not leave it open; he closes it, because this is better for preserving the Book of Allah, so that dust or anything else does not fall on it.
