Touching A Quraan-e-Kareem Which Has A Cover

· 3 Rabiʻ II 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

What is the ruling of carrying the Quraan if it is covered with something? Does one need to be in the state of Wudhu. Some Quraans come pre-covered with transparent plastic. Does that count as “able to come off”?

Answer

If the Qur’an is covered with such a Ghilaf (cover) which is Munfasil (can be easily removed) than one doesn’t need to have Wudhu and those Quraan-e-Kareems which are pre-covered with see through plastic that will also be counted as “able to come off” unless it is taped up.
