Reading the Qur'an and Touching the Mushaf for One in a State of Major Ritual Impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on reading the Qur'an for one who is in a state of major ritual impurity, or is it also prohibited to touch the mushaf?
Answer:
One who is in a state of major ritual impurity does not read the Qur'an, nor a single verse, until he performs the full ritual bath to remove the major ritual impurity. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not prevented from reading the Qur'an by anything other than major ritual impurity. Therefore, one who is in a state of major ritual impurity does not read the Qur'an until he performs the full ritual bath, if he has water, or performs dry ablution with clean earth if he does not find water, or is unable to use it due to illness or the like. Yes.
