What is the difference between the ruling on touching the Mus-haf and carrying it for one who is in a state of minor ritual impurity? And what is the ruling on carrying it for one who is in a state of minor ritual impurity if they differ?

The difference between touching the Mus'haf and carrying it is that the prohibition was revealed concerning touching, and some scholars equated carrying with it because the reason for the prohibition—which is a lack of reverence for the Mus'haf—is also present in carrying. For if touching is prohibited due to a lack of reverence, then carrying is even more so. Malik went further, stating that the Mus'haf should not be carried by its strap or on a cushion unless one is pure, out of honor and reverence for the Quran. Thus, there is no difference between carrying the Mus'haf and touching it according to those who prohibit touching the Mus'haf with an interposing object.
