Question:
Regarding the Qur'an, it is to be elevated and nothing is to be placed above it. Are recorded tapes of the Qur'an to be treated like the mushaf, such that nothing is placed on them?
Answer:
The matter is broad in this regard; because the tapes do not contain clear Qur'an. The mushaf is different from the tapes. However, if you preserve them with books or keep them in cabinets, that is good, if Allah wills, in a good place. They do not have the ruling of the mushaf.
