Touching the (copy of the Qur'an) without Wudu' (ablution) is not permissible according to the majority of scholars. If the practitioner's Wudu' is invalidated during a ruqyah session from the Mushaf, he must renew his Wudu' if he wishes to continue. Alternatively, he can hold the Mushaf with a barrier or turn the pages with a stick if he does not wish to perform Wudu'.
