Question
Assalaamu Alaykum, What are the precautions to be taken by the one who carries a pocket Mus-haf whenever he goes out? May Allaah Reward you.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.
It is good for one to carry his pocket Mus-haf wherever he goes in order to utilize his free time for reciting the Quran. However, he has to observe the manners of carrying the Mus-haf, including:
First: it is impermissible for him to touch or carry the Mus-haf unless he is in the full state of Tahaarah (purity).
Second: it is impermissible for him to enter the privy having the Mus-haf with him, except when there is a dire necessity, like his fear of its being burnt, drenched, humiliated or forgotten.
Third: it is impermissible to expose the Mus-haf to any form of humiliation, like sitting while reclining on it while it is in his pocket.
