Is wudu' obligatory before Qur'an classes?

Question:
Is it obligatory for me to perform wudu' before every Qur'an class I have at school?

Answer:
You do not have to perform wudu' if you are in a state of ritual purity. Likewise, if the recitation is from memory, meaning without the mushaf, you do not have to purify yourself.
However, if the recitation is from the mushaf and you have broken your wudu' after the first class, you must purify yourself for the second class, and so on for the third. Whenever you intend to read from the mushaf while not in a state of wudu', you must purify yourself. This is based on the hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he said: .
The Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also issued a ruling that one who has broken his wudu' should not touch the Qur'an. This is the position of the majority of scholars, including the four Imams and others.
Therefore, it is obligatory for you, my brother, if you intend to read from the mushaf while not in a state of ritual purity, to perform the wudu' prescribed by the Shari'ah. However, if you are in a state of janabah, you are not permitted to read, whether from memory or from the mushaf, until you perform ghusl.
