Is it permissible to read the Quran without Wudu (ablution)?

The fatwa (definition) clarifies that there is a weakness in the wording of the fatwa attributed to the Islamic Research Academy, and an error in deducing the reward for reading the Quran. However, it agrees with some issues, such as the urging of devotion (khushu') and the superiority of reading the Quran. The fatwa affirms the permissibility of reading the Quran without ablution, but it disagrees with what was stated in it regarding the permissibility of touching the Mus'haf without ablution, emphasizing that the majority of scholars prohibit this.
