Holding Qur’an App Without Wudhu

Question:

Dear Mufti

I hope you are well, I wish to know if it is permissible to hold a quran app on a smart phone with out wudu.

Answer:

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-raḥmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Respected Sister

It is permissible for one to handle a mobile phone that has a Quran application stored on it without wudhu.[1] However one should abstain from taking the mobile phone with the Quran application stored on it into a bathroom or toilet, out of respect and reverence for the Holy Quran.

And Allah Ta‘ala knows best
