Is it permissible to place papers between the pages of the Mushaf to facilitate opening the surahs when students are reciting for memorization?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to place temporary markers in the Mus'haf, such as clean pieces of paper, to indicate a specific location for a legitimate purpose like memorization recitation. This does not contradict the veneration of the Mus'haf. If the Salaf placed permanent markers, such as the end of surahs and parts, then placing a temporary marker is even more appropriate.
