Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, the questioner says: What is the ruling on placing a tafsir book or other books containing verses on the ground in the mosque?
Answer:
If it is possible to place them on something elevated, the tafsirs and all books of knowledge are best placed on something elevated. However, if they are placed on the ground, this is not forbidden with regard to books. As for the Qur'an, it is not placed on the ground. The Qur'an is either carried with you or placed on something elevated that is pure.
