I am studying the subject of the Qur'an in one of the schools. What is the ruling on writing with chalk while I am not in a state of wudu' for the Qur'an?

The questioner : He says: "May the Shaykh be respected, I am studying the subject of the Qur'an in one of the schools. What is the ruling on writing with chalk while I am not in a state of wudu' for the Qur'an? And what is the ruling on the dust from that chalk which is wiped off those written verses and falls to the ground after being wiped?"
The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with any of this. As for a person holding the chalk or writing with it, he has not touched the Qur'an, just as if a person took an ordinary pen and wrote Surat al-Fatihah, for example, on a piece of paper, but he did not touch the paper, then there is nothing wrong with that. Likewise, the chalk dust that scatters from writing the Qur'an does not harm and has no effect, because what is prohibited is for a person to touch what is written in, not the inkwell or the pen. Yes.
