The questioner : Is it permissible for me to recite the Qur'an from memory while I am not in a state of ritual purity?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible for a memorizer of the Qur'an to recite the Qur'an without being in a state of ritual purity, but it is better to be in a state of ritual purity. As for the one who reads from the mushaf, he must perform wudu' because he cannot touch the mushaf except with wudu'. However, he can read from the mushaf even if he has not performed wudu' by wearing a glove, or by having a handkerchief with which he turns the pages, or a toothpick with which he turns the pages, and he reads.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit the Muslims through you.
