Performing Salaah with a Qur’an in one’s top pocket

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: A person has a small Qur’an in his top pocket. Would it be permissible to perform Salaah with it in the pocket because in sajdah the Quran would be quite low?

Bismillaah

A: It is permissible provided he keeps it with respect and there is no fear of the Qur’an falling out of his pocket when going for sajdah.

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

وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَائِرَ اللَّـهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ ﴿الحج: ٣٢﴾

وعن أبي ملكية قال كان عكرمة بن أبي جهل إذا اجتهد في اليمين قال والذي نجاني يوم بدر وكان يأخذ المصحف فيضعه على وجهه ويقول : كلام ربي كلام ربي رواه الطبراني مرسلا ورجاله رجال الصحيح (مجمع الزوائد #16049)
