Q: Is it permissible to touch a mus'haf without performing ablution/wudhu? Or let's say is if permissible to study qur'an without wudhu? Because I am memorizing Qur'an and I always go to the comfort room, always pee so I find it hard to make a wudhu every after entering the comfort room. It is also very cold in my country especially in morning. But if it is impermissible or not permissible then I will have no choice but to make wudhu every time after entering the comfort room.
Q: Is it okay for me to listen to rijaal voice for Qur'an? I don't have any specific Qari but my tajweed isn't good so I downloaded mp3 version of the whole Qur'an--rijaal voice. If it is permissible, which Imam/Qari should I listen to?

Q: I am part of a whatsapp group and we have decided that rather then just chatting and posting articles and news, we can do some good deeds together as a group. So alhamdulillah we have started a monthly Quraan Khatam. There is absolutely no force on those who can not manage or be part of the khatam. If anyone cannot manage their para for the month it is passed over to someone who can recite it. After the khatam is made we make the intention of isaale thawaab for all the marhoomeen. After a few months of this khatam which was going very well, somebody said to me that this practice is bid'ah as we have stipulated a time frame of this amal to one month and that we should stop this practice as it has no basis in deen. He also mentioned that our actions needs to be done with sincerity and not for show so it should not be done as a group. I do not want to perform any innovations in deen and I am really concerned. Some of the members are such that if it wasn't for this monthly khatam they would not have opened the Quraan not only for the entire month but rather for the entire year. Should I inform the members of the group and stop this practice or should it be continued?
