Question:
Is it permissible to recite the Qur'an without performing wudu'? And who are the purified ones?
Answer:
It is permissible to recite the Qur'an without performing wudu' if one does not touch the mushaf, but rather recites from memory. However, touching the mushaf is not permissible except in a state of ritual purity.
The purified ones mentioned in the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Surah al-Waqi'ah: 79] are: those who have purified themselves from major and minor ritual impurity -according to the opinion of some scholars-. The correct view is that they refer to the angels.
As for the one in a state of major ritual impurity, he does not recite anything from the Qur'an, neither from memory nor from the mushaf; because it is established from 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not prevented from the Qur'an by anything except major ritual impurity."
