Is it permissible to carry a small Qur’an in one’s pocket or hang it by a string around one’s neck?

It is permissible for a Muslim to carry the Mus'haf (copy of the Quran) in his hand or pocket or to hang it around his neck, provided he is in a state of complete purity. He must preserve and respect it, especially when entering the restroom. It is not permissible to enter with it unless there is a covering and a fear of its loss. As for hanging the Mus'haf for the purpose of an amulet (ta'widh), this falls under the category of hanging amulets, regarding which scholars have differed if it is from the Quran. The correct opinion is that it is not permissible.
