Qur'anEtiquettes and respect for the Quraan

Question

My question is that while recitation of Quran Shareef, I touch holy verses by my finger, during this I touch my mobile phone or keychain with same hand and finger, does the mobile and keychain also become respectful? Or its ok to keep them on the floor or anywhere?

Answer

Merely touching them after touching the Quraan Shareef does not make them worthy of respect. Hence, they can be left on the floor.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
