The Ruling on Touching the Mushaf Without Ritual Purity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Ibn Hazm’s argument that it is permissible for one who is not in a state of ritual purity to touch the Mushaf, based on the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) sending of letters?
Answer:
This is a verse that was written in a letter, and writing a verse in a letter is not prohibited. There is discussion among the scholars regarding the hadith, because it is narrated by Abdullah ibn Salama. Some said that he became confused in his old age and that his narrations are not relied upon, while a group of others approved of his narration (may Allah have mercy on him). The point is that this is a matter of scholarly disagreement, and the safest course for the believer is not to recite while in a state of major ritual impurity.
