The ruling on placing the mushaf behind oneself or extending one's feet toward it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says, “O Shaykh: Is there any harm in a person who lies down to sleep and places the mushaf behind him, or in a person who is praying and, during prostration, his feet are extended in front of the mushaf? May Allah reward you with good.”
Answer:
It does no harm if his feet are extended in front of him while the mushaf is in front of him, or to his right, or to his left; it does no harm. However, he should not place it behind him; he should not place it behind him, because that is a form of disrespect. This is unless it is in a raised location, such as on raised shelves, in which case it does no harm. As for intentionally placing it behind him on the floor, or in a cabinet, or in a low place behind him, it is better to avoid that. But if it is to his right, to his left, or in front of him, even if he extends his feet, it does no harm.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
