Keeping the Quraan in a drawer of the dressing chest

· 11 Jumada I 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

In the bedroom, where can the Quaran be kept? I have always kept my Quaran in a drawer of the dressing chest in the bedroom but now I am told that that is improper and should always be kept above head-high.

Answer

The Qur'an should be shown utmost respect. It should be placed on a high shelf in the cupboard.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
