The answer

It is permissible for a person in a state of ritual impurity (junub) who is unable to perform (full ritual ablution) to touch the (copy of the Qur'an) after performing (dry ablution). Ibn Qudamah mentioned in Al-Mughni the permissibility of tayammum for anything for which purification is required, such as touching the Mushaf and reciting the Qur'an. He narrated from Imam Ahmad, who said: "He performs tayammum and recites his portion," meaning the junub person. This is the view of Ata, Mak-hul, Al-Zuhri, Rabi'ah, Yahya Al-Ansari, Malik, Al-Shafi'i, Al-Thawri, and the people of opinion (Ahl Al-Ra'y).
