Ruling on reading from the mushaf without ritual purity

Question:
Is it valid for a person to read from the mushaf without performing wudu'?

Answer:
He is not permitted to read from the mushaf except with wudu'. As for reciting from memory, there is no harm. But from the mushaf, wudu' is necessary. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited touching the mushaf without wudu'. He wrote to the people of Yemen: It is reported in hadiths and was the practice of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all).
The point is: one does not read from the mushaf except while in a state of purity. As for one in a state of minor ritual impurity, he does not recite the Qur'an except from memory. However, one in a state of major ritual impurity does not recite, neither from memory nor from the mushaf, until he performs ghusl. But the one who is not in a state of major ritual impurity may recite from memory, and there is no harm even if he is not in a state of purity.
As for reading from the mushaf, wudu' is necessary. Yes.
