▪️Touching The Muṣḥaf Without Wuḍūʾ ▪️
⠀⠀Our Shaykh, al-Ḥāfiẓ, al-Muḥaddith, al-Faqīh, ʾAbū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Jumʻān Ibn Ramaḍān Laḥmar (حفظه الله ورعاه) was asked on the 30th of Jumād al-ʾAwwal, 1443H:
⠀⠀📩 "What is the ruling on touching the Muṣḥaf without Wuḍūʾ?"
⠀⠀🎙️ Shaykh ʾAbū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Jumʻān Ibn Ramaḍān Laḥmar (حفظه الله ورعاه):
"It is permissible. Furthermore, al-Nawawī related that if one was upon minor impurity, then he can touch it. This is if he was upon minor impurity, but the prohibition is for the one upon major impurity, like the one upon janābah.
'لا يمسُّ القرآنَ إلَّا طاهرٌ'
'No one touches the Qurʾān except the ṭāhir (the purified).' [Muʿjam al-Ṭabarānī 13217]
Meaning: the one upon janābah.
What's correct is that it's permissible to touch it, regardless of whether it was from junub or by the one who was upon minor impurity, due to the statement of his ﷺ:
'إِنَّ المُؤْمِن لاَ يَنْجَسُ'
'Indeed, the Muʾmin doesn't become impure.'
[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 371]
And due to the statement of Allāh عز وجل:
{ لَا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُون }
'None can touch it except al-Muṭahharūn (the purified).' [Sūrah al-Wāqiʿah: 79]
What's meant by "them [al-Muṭahharūn]" are the angels.
As for his statement, ﷺ:
'لا تمسَّ القرآن إلَّا وأنت على طُهر'
'Do not touch the Qurʾān, except if you're upon purification.'
Then this is from the aspect of it being better, due to what is proven in the Ṣaḥīḥayn from the Ḥadīth of ʿĀʾishah (رضي الله عنها):
'افْعَلِي ما يَفْعَلُ الحَاجُّ، غيرَ أنْ لا تَطُوفي بالبَيْتِ'
'Do what the Ḥāj [people performing Ḥajj] do, except doing Ṭawāf around the Kaʿbah.'
[Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 305]
'Do what the Ḥāj do.'
What do the Ḥāj do? The Ḥāj read the Qurʾān, do dhikr of Allāh, do tasbīḥ [saying Subḥān Allāh], do taḥmīd [saying Alḥamdulillāh], do tahlīl [saying Lā ilāhah Illā Allāh], walk between al-Ṣafā and al-Marwah, similarly, they go to Minā and spend the night there, and other things from the ʿibādāt. Indeed it is Ṣalāh that's forbidden upon the Ḥāʾiḍ [menstruating woman]. The condition for Ṣalāh is purity."
