Touching the Mushaf by One in a State of Impurity and by a Woman with Irregular Bleeding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Now, Shaykh, is it permissible in a case like that of an individual or a family? And is the ruling on it alone recommended?
The Shaykh:
A menstruating woman does not touch the Mushaf. And anyone who is in a state of minor or major ritual impurity does not touch the Mushaf, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Muwatta Malik 15:1 meaning one who is pure from minor and major ritual impurity. So if one who is in a state of minor ritual impurity does not touch the Mushaf, then one who is in a state of major ritual impurity, such as a woman with irregular bleeding or other menstruating women, is even more so. Yes.
Another questioner:
Of course, I mean, God forbid.
The Shaykh:
By name, if it is called a Mushaf, it is not touched directly. But if it is called a Tafsir, then it is not permissible to touch it because it is not a Mushaf.

no-one should touch the Qur'an unless he was pure
