The ruling on touching the mushaf while in a state of minor ritual impurity and its cover

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on touching the mushaf while in a state of minor ritual impurity? And is the cover of the mushaf considered part of the mushaf?

Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible for you to touch it. If he is in this state, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
no-one should touch the Qur'an unless he was pureلا يمس القرآن إلا طاهر
Muwatta Malik 15:1
. The mushaf includes the book or includes what follows the mushaf, what is attached to the mushaf, everything that follows the mushaf has the status of the mushaf. The cover of the mushaf is part of it. However, if the mushaf is in a bag or in a box, there is no harm in carrying it, with the permission of Allah, from behind or from behind a wall. This is not a problem, yes.
