1) If one does not have wudhu, can one touch the Quran mushaf briefly when moving it to another shelf, as part of re-arranging? Or when placing it back onto a shelf?

2) Similarly, when one does not have wudhu, it is permissible to touch the Quran mushaf using a tissue, without direct contact, and then read from the mushaf holding it using a tissue in that way?

الجواب حامداومصليا

It is permissible to touch the Quran with a cloth, tissue or pen to turn the pages when reciting without Wudhu as long as you don’t touch with your hands.

Same ruling applies when moving it from one place to another.
