Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Does reciting the Qur'an require ritual purity? Or is the intention that touching the mushaf requires ritual purity?
Answer:
Reciting the Qur'an from memory does not require ritual purity from minor ritual impurity, but ritual purity from major ritual impurity is required. So a person does not recite while in a state of major ritual impurity. Yes.

Nothing used to prevent the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from reciting the Qur'an except major ritual impurity,
