Touching the screen of a cellphone which has the Quraan Majeed on it
Question
With regards to touching a cellphone which has the Quraan on it without wudhu, is it permissible to touch this cellphone with the Quraan on it without wudhu even though the entire screen of the cellphone is filled with verses of the Quraan?
Answer
It is permissible to touch the screen without wudhu, however one should refrain from placing one's hand on the screen where the verses of the Qur'aan appear. If it is difficult, then one should make wudhu or one should use something to turn the pages on the screen.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
