The answer

Within the covers of the Mus'haf is the speech of Allah the Almighty, and it must be honored and protected from anything that contradicts this; for His saying, Exalted is He: "That [is so]. And whoever honors the sacred ordinances of Allah – it is best for him in the sight of his Lord." and "That [is so]. And whoever honors the symbols of Allah – indeed, it is from the piety of hearts." The Ummah has unanimously agreed upon the obligation of honoring, exalting, and safeguarding the Qur'an.

Among the forms of honoring it are: - Placing it in an elevated position. - Ensuring its correct writing, beautifying its calligraphy, and perfecting its recitation. - Not leaving it open or placing anything on top of it, and placing it on the reciter's lap or on something elevated. - Erasing it with water, not with saliva. - Looking into it daily. - Not using it as a pillow, or leaning on it, or throwing it. - Not writing with it on the ground, for it is "in a Register well-protected; None touch it except the purified."
