Etiquettes and respect for the Quraan

Touching the Quraan without wudhu

Q: How can you say that wudu is required to read Quran (even on a mobile phone), while Allah has mentioned it (wudu) to have to perform salah, not for reading Quran. And our Prophet(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has told us to be taahir (in purity). Is a Muslim not taahir without wudu. Is it not laying unrequired boundation which keeps millions of believers away from reciting the Quran that really inspires us to stick to the Deen, more than anything can, though I understand that it is better to have wudu always!

Keeping the Quraan in a drawer

Q: I have a question on behalf of my mother. She has been told that she cannot leave her Quran in her bedside drawer as it is below the level of her bed and she shows her back towards it whilst sleeping. I do not agree with it as she is not disrespectful (and it's above the ground), keeps it close to her so as to read more often during the night. Her intention is Paak.
