\n\tAssalamualaikum.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI do have a question on the etiquette of handling the Quran. I used to read the Quran after each obligatory prayer. I prefer to read the Quran sitting on my prayer mat when my toddler is sleeping on the bed. Is it permissible to put the Quran down on the prayer mat when someone like toddlers is sleeping on the bed? Please need clarification on this.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Quran should be handled with ultimate respect as it contains the Speech of All\u0101h.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIm\u0101m an-Nawawi mentions the following etiquettes before reciting the Quran.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n\t\tTo be pure and clean<\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n
  2. \n\t\tTo cover Awrah<\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n
  3. \n\t\tTo choose a clean place for the recitation. <\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n
  4. \n\t\tTo brush the teeth<\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n
  5. \n\t\tTo be in a place which is away from any distractions<\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\t \n<\/p>\n

    \n\tThe scholars also state that the Quran should not be placed on the floor. Rather you should treat it with respect and placed it on something raised from the ground.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n\t \n<\/p>\n

    \n\tIm\u0101m al-Qurtubi mentions that the sanctity of the Quran is not to place it on the ground, or to leave it open or to place anything on top of it. Therefore, my advice is not to place the Quran on the prayer mat but rather place it on something to hold the Quran on.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
