Is it permissible to use a mushaf as a sutrah for the one praying?

Question:
A questioner says: Regarding the sutrah for prayer: Is it permissible to take the noble mushaf to be a sutrah for me, or some books of knowledge?

Answer:
As for the mushaf, it is better that it be in a high place where it is not disrespected. If he places some books of knowledge in front of him, and he has no sutrah; the apparent view is that I do not know of any harm in this, if the place is clean, then there is no harm in it. As for the mushaf, it is a place of reverence.
