If the Quran is written on a blackboard or a board, does it have the ruling of touching the mushaf?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, if a verse is written on the blackboard.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Does it take on the ruling of the mushaf?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Does it take on the ruling of the mushaf?
The Shaykh : Yes, it appears that it takes on the ruling of the mushaf. For example, if the Quran is written on a blackboard, it must not be touched except in a state of ritual purity. However, there is no difficulty in this matter. If a man is teaching children, he always has a stick with him, and he can touch it with the stick. But if he wants to write, for example, if he writes:[An-Nasr 110:1], it is now established that it is written Quran, and he is in the middle of writing. Do we say, "Remove your hand from the blackboard"?
There is actually a hardship in this, and I mean for one who is not in a state of wudu. There is hardship and difficulty, so I am hesitant here. Do we oblige him to hold a handkerchief in his hand to protect himself from touching the blackboard, or do we not oblige him?
The questioner : If, for example, the blackboard has the writing "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim."
The Shaykh : No, the Basmalah is not Quran; the Basmalah is dhikr.
The questioner : But Shaykh, does it take on the ruling of tafsir if the tafsir is more than the Quran?
The Shaykh : Yes, if it is tafsir, there is no harm. But sometimes they write a verse alone and the teacher explains it.
The questioner : If there is other writing that is not intended as tafsir.
The Shaykh : Ah, meaning that something other than the Quran is written on one side of it. In this case, the criterion is the majority.
The Shaykh : Yes.

When the victory of Allah has come and the conquest,
