The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, we say: recite the Qur'an, even without ablution; there is no problem with that. However, touching the mushaf is different from reciting the Qur'an.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, there is no problem. We say this out of reverence for the Book of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). For this reason, if we assume that a person’s hand is ritually impure while he is in a state of ablution, is it permissible for him to touch the mushaf?
This is not permissible; there is no doubt about it.
