Is it permissible to take a Mus-haf from the mosque and keep it at home for the purpose of reading from it?

It is not permissible to take a Mus'haf (copy of the Qur'an) from the mosque to the home if the Mus'hafs are endowed for the mosque, as this violates the condition of the endower and diverts what is intended for the general Muslim public. However, if they are endowed for the people of the neighborhood and their designated place is the mosque, then there is no harm in taking one home, with the obligation to return it to the mosque after one has finished with it, so that others may benefit from it.
