What is the ruling on using the Quran as a sutrah for someone praying?
The Mushaf (copy of the Qur'an) should not be used as a Sutrah (barrier) for one who is praying, due to what is stated in the Mudawwanah: "There is no good in placing a Mushaf in the Qiblah and praying towards it," and the statement of Al-Hattab: "Nor should one use the Mushaf as a screen."
