The Ruling on Touching Part of the Qur'an and Its Cover, According to the Muhaddith

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There are two views. As for the part of it, or a part of a complete mushaf, the text does not indicate anything except purity. And so, holding the mushaf from its beginning to its end, and it falling into the eyes.

Answer:
We said: All of the Qur'an, one does not touch the Qur'an. It did not say the mushaf, it said: One does not touch the Qur'an. And the Qur'an includes the entire Qur'an and includes part of it, yes, yes. The term Qur'an includes the entire 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 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 one's sleeve, or from behind a barrier, or wearing, for example, wearing gloves on one's hands, there is no harm in that, yes, because this is from behind a barrier.
