An unbeliever is not permitted to touch the Qur’an due to the impurity of his belief. Likewise, a Muslim who is in a state of major or minor ritual impurity is not permitted to touch it, based on the words of the Almighty: "None shall touch it save the purified." It is also narrated in the Prophet’s letter to the people of Yemen: "None shall touch the Qur’an save one who is pure." This purity includes being free from disbelief, ritual impurity, and physical filth.
