Leaning on cabinets containing Qur'ans
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I say: In this mosque there are cabinets containing Qur'ans, and we place these Qur'ans behind our backs and lean on these cabinets. Is there any harm in this?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm, meaning, it is not intended as disrespect. The purpose is preservation, because people need them, and it is not intended as disrespect. But if you placed them in front of the people, that would be better. If you placed the cabinets in front of the people.
The questioner:
If they are in front of the people, but you are leaning on them.
The Shaykh:
It does no harm, if Allah wills. There is no blame, if Allah wills. Yes.
