Ruling on a person in a state of ritual impurity turning the pages of the mushaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for him to turn the pages of the Qur'an while he is not in a state of ritual purity, without carrying it, meaning he just turns the pages?
Answer:
With his hand, no; because it is like touching it, and one does not touch the Qur'an unless he is in a state of ritual purity. So with his hand, it is prohibited, whether it is on a chair or in his hand. But if he touches it with a barrier, such as gloves, a stick, or another tool, there is nothing wrong with it.
