Tradition 1. Abdullah Ibn Abu Bakr Ibn Hazm (R.A.) said, In the letter which the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, wrote to `Amr Ibn Hazm, it was also written that no one should touch the Qur'an except a holy person. Yahya (RA) said: Malik (RA) said: The Qur'an should not be lifted by holding the ribbon of juzabadan or by placing it on a pillow, but in a pure state. If that (holding a ribbon and touching the Qur'an on a pillow without performing ablution) is permissible, then the zhild is also without impurity. could be touched And it is not made makruh because the person who is reciting the Qur'an has something in his hand that would make it impure. It is makruh to raise it in an impure state. Yahya (RA) said - Malik (RA) said: (لَا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ) That is, no one touches it except those who are idolatrous (Surah Waqiyah: 79). It has been mentioned in Abasa (كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ) that is, this type of behavior is inappropriate, it is a warning; Whoever wills will remember it. It is great, exalted, in the holy book, great, Biographies in the hands of scribes. (Surah Abasa:)
