Q 2: In his book "Tuhfat Al-Arous," p. 389, the author Mahmud Mahdy Al-Istanbully mentions in the footnote placed on line twelve [in the Arabic edition]: As for touching the Qur'an, it is not Haram (prohibited) for a Junub (person in a state of post-sexual ritual impurity) or a menstruating woman to touch. However, it is preferable to touch it while in a state of Taharah (ritual purification). As for Allah's saying: (Part No. 3; Page No. 72)  That (this) is indeed an honourable recitation (the Noble Qur’ân). In a Book well-guarded (with Allâh in the heaven i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz ). Which (that Book with Allâh) none can touch but the purified. The relative pronoun which refers to Al-Lawh-ul-Mahfuzh (the Preserved Tablet), not the Holy Qur'an, and the purified refers to the angels. As for the Hadith that states: None should touch the Qur’an except one who is Tahir (ritually pure) , it refers to the believer. According to a report narrated in the Sahih of Al-Bukhari: Verily, a believer is never impure. Kindly provide us with the answer regarding the opinion mentioned above.
