The ruling on kissing the mushaf and placing it on the forehead
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner from Jordan. The questioner has a set of questions. In his first question, he says: Your Eminence, what is the ruling on one who holds the noble mushaf, kisses it, and places it on his forehead before or after reading?
Please inform us of this, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
There is no harm in kissing the mushaf, placing it on the forehead, or doing similar things; there is no harm in that. However, it is not prescribed. It is narrated from 'Ikrimah ibn Abi Jahal (may Allah be pleased with him), the noble Companion, that he used to kiss the mushaf and say, "This is the speech of my Lord," meaning out of reverence for it and love for it. There is no harm in that, but it is not prescribed. It has not been preserved that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do that, nor did he direct people to it. So if a person leaves it off, that is good; otherwise, there is no harm in it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
