We mentioned the scholarly disagreement regarding the ruling on placing the on clean ground, varying between prohibition and permissibility. The more cautious approach is to avoid this disagreement and to be careful with the Mushaf, out of reverence for it. As for placing it on a chair or a clean, elevated bed, that is permissible, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, placed the Torah on a pillow.
