Is it permissible to read the Quran from a mobile phone that is soiled or has been touched by an impurity from the hand, and must it be cleaned before reading from it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no objection to reading the Qur’an from a mobile phone, but if there is impurity on the phone, it is not permissible to open the Mushaf (copy of the Qur'an) on it until the impurity is removed; this is out of reverence for the sacred ordinances of Allah Almighty. However, if it is merely a whisper (waswasa), one must disregard it.
