Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible for a non-discriminating child to hold the Qur'an?
The Shaykh : It is well known that a non-discriminating child does not have wudu' (ablution), because a condition for the validity of wudu' is the ability to distinguish right from wrong. If he does not have wudu', it is not permissible for him to touch the Qur'an, because touching the Qur'an is not permissible except with wudu', based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in what he wrote to 'Amr ibn Hazm:Muwatta Malik 15:1 meaning, except one who has performed wudu'. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. You say.
