Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The basic principle is that it is impermissible to touch the (Qur'an) except for one who is in a state of ritual purity, based on Allah's saying: "None touch it except the purified," and on the of Amr ibn Hazm. However, some scholars have permitted a teacher and a student to touch the Mushaf without ablution (wudu') to remove hardship. Therefore, there is no sin upon a young student touching the Mushaf, even if he is not in a state of ablution.
