1.7. Requirement for ritual purity to touch the Quran

لَّا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
Which none can touch but the purified (Al-Waqi'ah 56:79)

The Messenger of Allah sent a letter to 'Amr Ibn Hazm, governor of Yemen, which contained various legal rulings including: And none can touch the Quran except the purified. (Related in al-Muwatta)

One may hold the Quran via a barrier because in doing so one is not physically touching the Quran. It is permissable to carry the Quran in one's pocket but one cannot enter the toilet with it unless one fears by leaving it outside it will be stolen.
