The Ruling on Touching the Qur'an by One in a State of Ritual Impurity out of Necessity

Question:
The listening sister (F. A. M. Q.) from Abha, Sarat 'Ubaydah, sent three questions. In one of them, she says: I know that it is not permissible for a person who is not in a state of ritual purity to touch the Qur'an. So what should one do if he finds a page from the Qur'an lying on the ground, or sees the Qur'an with children who are playing with it? Is it permissible for him to act in the situation described and hold the mushaf?

Answer:
Yes, out of necessity, for the sake of caring for its exaltation and rescuing it from those who dishonor it, such as children, or from being thrown on the ground. It is obligatory for whoever sees this, even if he is not in a state of ritual purity, to take it and place it in a suitable location, and not to leave it with the boys who are playing with it. And if he finds a page on the ground containing Qur'an, he should pick it up and preserve it, or tear it up so that nothing of the mention of Allah remains, or bury it in clean earth. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
