Carrying the Mushaf in the Pocket and Touching Part of the Qur'an While in a State of Ritual Impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh said: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Shaykh said: If I carry a partial copy by itself and write it in small handwriting, if I carry a partial copy and carry it…
The Shaykh:
As for carrying it while you are in a state of ritual impurity, there is no harm in it. If it is in your pocket, there is no harm in carrying it because it is protected by the pocket, and you are not touching it with your hand as long as you are respectful. Leave it in your pocket. As for entering the bathroom with the Mushaf or with any part of it, this is not permissible. This is not permissible except in a case of dire necessity, if you fear that it will be stolen or that it will be treated with disrespect. In that case, you carry it in your pocket out of dire necessity. Otherwise, you do not enter the bathroom with it; you place it in a place far from the bathroom. Yes.
The questioner:
And the Shaykh said: We study the jurists in the schools, and the students are with others,
The Shaykh:
It is a hardship. There is hardship in this. It takes them out of the state of ablution, and they run away into the streets. So this is a dire necessity. I say there is no harm in the dire necessity, and they are small children.
Another questioner:
Of course, the secondary school stage.
The Shaykh:
No, the older men, these are accountable. They are definitely commanded to perform ablution, unlike the children before puberty. They are lenient with them.
The questioner:
So from an idea that grows from it, the contradiction grows. A report of a complete Mushaf does not indicate half of itself except by its back. So if he held the Mushaf from inside and read in it, the knowledge.
The Shaykh:
We said: All of the Qur'an. All of the Qur'an is not to be touched. It did not say the Mushaf. It said: The Qur'an is not to be touched. And the Qur'an includes all of the Qur'an and includes part of it. The term "Qur'an" includes all of the Qur'an and includes part of the Qur'an. So it is not permissible to touch it, whether complete or partial, except while in a state of ritual purity. And it is not permissible to touch the cover, because the cover is an accessory to the Mushaf. As for touching it from behind a sleeve or from behind a barrier, or wearing, for example, a shirt on his hands, there is no obstacle, because he did not see a barrier.
