Question

My cat fell asleep on top of the Qur'an Shareef and other Deeni kitaabs. Please advise on what I should do in this instance. Is it necessary to awaken and move the cat?

Answer

Immediately you should remove the cat as this amounts to disrespect being shown to the Qur'an Shareef and the kitaabs of Deen.

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