What is the ruling on placing the mushaf on the ground, and is that a form of disrespecting it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Is it correct for those who say that placing the mushaf on the ground is a form of disrespecting it, and who cite as evidence the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And whoever honors the symbols of Allah - indeed, it is from the piety of hearts. ومن يعظم شعائر الله فإنها من تقوى القلوب
[Al-Hajj 22:32]
,
and whoever honors the sacred ordinances of Allah - it is best for him in the sight of his Lord ومن يعظم حرمات الله فهو خير له عند ربه
[Al-Hajj 22:30]
?
It is not correct. Placing it on clean ground is not a problem, unless it is near the feet, in which case one who sees it might view it as disrespectful.
