The ruling on reading the Qur'an without wudu' from the mushaf or from memory

Question:
A questioner says: Shaykh Salih, is it permissible for us to read the Qur'an without wudu', whether from the mushaf or from memory?

Answer:
As for reading from memory, yes, it is permissible with minor ritual impurity without wudu'. However, with major ritual impurity, which is janabah, it is not permissible to read the Qur'an, neither from the mushaf nor from memory, until one performs ghusl and the state of janabah is lifted. If one reads from the mushaf while in a state of minor ritual impurity, that is permissible, but he must not touch the mushaf directly; rather, it should be done through a barrier or by using a device to follow the letters. He must not touch it with his hand unless he is in a state of wudu'. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
