Qur’an: Reciting without Wudu

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

At work its easier for me to read the Quran on the internet as I am on the computer for 8 hrs.  I was wondering if it is permissible to read the Quran on the internet without wudu’?  I asked a local Shaykh and he implied that the obligation of having wudu’ is only when one is touching the Quran but not merely reading it without touching it.

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam,

In general, it is permitted to recite the Qur’an without touching it when one is not in a state of minor ritual impurity.

It is superior, when reasonably possible, for one to do wudu.

In a state of major ritual impurity, it is not permitted to recite the Qur’an. [Ala’ al-Din Abidin, Gifts of Guidance]

Walaikum assalam,
Faraz Rabbani.
