1) Reading Quran without touching it and without wudu - Yes.

2) Reading Quran whilst touching it without wudu - No.

* Two exceptions to the second rule:-
a) Touching can be done if one is using a cloth which one is not wearing,
b) Young children.

Under no circumstances are you permitted to to touch the Quran without wudu 🙂

unless obviously young children, but you should help them do wudu first 🙂

it isnt just any book, it is the holy quran 🙂

and then there is all the rulings about Tafseer, Quran with translation etc..

and then the rulings for menstruation women.

etc.. etc..

my head hurts...

I don't think this question is one for a poll, but one for a scholar.

The answer from the lets talk show the other day was as mentioned above - you can read the qur'an without wudhu. You however cannot touch the qur'an without wudhu.

when menstruating - for those that do - reading the qur'an is not allowed. It should be avoided.

I was thinking the same thing.

[quote=You]when menstruating - for those that do - reading the qur'an is not allowed. It should be avoided.[/quote]
...unless Qur'an is recited with the intention of du'a, such as reading Ayat-ul-Qursi before going to sleep.

Re touching tafsir without wudu - if the commentary exceeds the amount of Qur'anic verses (which it normally does) then wudu is not needed to touch it, although it is makruh.

As for the translation of the Qur'an - it recently came to my attention that one cannot touch it without wudu.

what's the difference between tafseer and commentary? :S

and what about translation? can u read that without wudhu?

[quote=ThE pOwEr Of SiLeNcE]what's the difference between tafseer and commentary? :S[/quote]
Corrected - meant translation

[quote=ThE pOwEr Of SiLeNcE]and what about translation? can u read that without wudhu?[/quote]
See above

What about books which have ayahs/translation of the Qur'an. Like they're know books of translation or anything but used as evidence for whatever is being said etc. Can you read/touch them without wudhu/whilst menstruating?

[quote=ThE pOwEr Of SiLeNcE]What about books which have ayahs/translation of the Qur'an[/quote]
Same rules as with tafsir (as long as the verses constitute only a small percentage of the contents of the book.) However one cannot touch the actual verses of the Qur'an without wudu.

i read somewhere that when you're in state of Janabah, you cant even recite/read the ayahs (from memory, in books) is this true?

(i really need to read up on this...)

Shaykh Jibalee wrote something about women being allowed to touch the Quran and recite from it during that time of the month. But most scholars say its not allowed.

what about reading the Quran online during that time of the month?

I think the majority opinion (whatever that means) is you're not allowed to read it in an unbroken sense at all, even if from memory.

[quote=You]I think the majority opinion is you're not allowed to read it in an unbroken sense at all, even if from memory.[/quote]

are you talking for the Janabaah state?

[quote=Lilly]i read somewhere that when you're in state of Janabah, you cant even recite/read the ayahs (from memory, in books) is this true?[/quote]
Yes - a man/woman who are in janabah are in the same state of impurity as a woman being in haidh (menstruation) and nifas (bleeding after child-birth).

We can! since there is a case for non muslims......of those who know not of ablution!

[quote=Samurai]We can! since there is a case for non muslims......of those who know not of ablution![/quote]

ignorance is forgiven. But most of the time we do ask non muslims to purify (or at least wash their hands) before touching the Quran. Most of the time they touch one with translation so its not too bad.
BUT we know we have to make wudu.

and why ask if you "knew" the answer...

during mensturation, there is no problem reading it, but there is touching it. And we can certainly hold the Holy book while there is for example a pak cloth between one's hands and Quran.

agreed

i think to read and learn quran we need to do wazu.without touching quran we can recite verses of quran without wazu i suggest you http://www.onlinequranreading.org

Actually you can and can't read. 

if you are reading it by looking at the Quran book it is not permissible to do so.

and if you want to read it by heart without looking at the Quran then yes you can do that, 

and if you meant that you have to do the ghusal, then no you can't read it anyway. 

hopefully this was clear and easy to understand.

for details about obligatory sunnah and makrooh acts in wudu and Ghusl I will recomment this website.  Online Quran Classes

you can read the english translation without ablution

You can read the Qur'an without wudhu.

You cannot touch the Qur'an without wudhu.

Exactly, I would say this the good answer, cuz you said the whole thing in just 2 lines.

No.

Smiling release happy endorphines people 🙂 so big cheesey grins 😃

I smile, not an immense amount and DEFINITELY not as much as you but I smile.. sometimes.. actually i grin - GRINNNNNNNNNOOO =D

Good Work though, Keep it up!

Hahah 🙂 well sometimes is better then never 🙂

I even smile when im sad 😃 but i think thats jus me 🙂 .... but it makes other people smile and before you know it everyone's smiling and people are uch more inclined to listen and co-operate when they see a happy person 🙂

afterall life is hard enough without being down about it 🙂

Thankyou 🙂 i will ...

i smile like an idiot even when im really down, it's odd u probs wouldn't expect it of me but nomatter how down i am i'ma be smiling, which confuses me and everyone around me good ey?

OMG exactly the same with me 🙂

sometimes it annoys me, but i keep smiling anyway 😃 haha

whats the diff between grin and smile?

a smile is scientifically moving your upper face muscles but basically smiling not showing your teeth 🙂

however grining is showing the teeth and basically a broad smile 😃 which i find to be quite contagious 😃

I smile then. and then i burst out laughing. At my screen. but that little fact can be ignored.. and just talk about SMILING!

Power of Silence is guilty of nearly killing me through smiling suffocation

😃

I smile

AND IT GET PAINFUL and you have to like, hold your face!

do you do that at your screen? o.O (that would be sadder than sad...)

Well i smiled so much that once my cheek got caught in my braces 😃 and i was still smiling through the pain haha LOL 😃 😃 😃

[quote=Lilly]AND IT GET PAINFUL and you have to like, hold your face!

do you do that at your screen? o.O (that would be sadder than sad...)[/quote]

😂 !!!

but whats sadder than sad?

i smile if i can be bothered. i find it hard to smile, even though i may be on the inside. takes a lot for me to smile. yes i am a sad pathetic creature. what do you expect im fed up worn out married with almost 3 kids life is near ending for me lool. i think i smiled a lot more before i was married, im lot more stressed now don't have time to think about stretching those muscles for a smile.

seriously though im one of those ppl i have a permanent down turned mouth. So all my life since i was in nursery teachers have always said smile love. i always thght what are they on about im not unhappy, has someone died near me because i never noticed anything? Is it my fault genetics have blessed me with such a sad look? The last time someone said "smile love it may never 'appen" was on the way to a uni seminar. i looked up at the window cleaner and coz i was a tad bit angry of hearing these comments, i said, "it already has mate!" that wiped the smile from his jolly face.

i do like ppl who always smile though, but im sure it can be a problem on sad occasions like even at funerals they will be smiling. Cept they're not smiling just its their natural expression. now if there are any gujis here please dont take offence. But my guji mate almost all her family do that, permanent smile i love it. At uni i met another guji and she was the same. Generally its lovely being around these ppl they really make your day brighter!

Wow MashAllah you have a packed life 🙂 🙂 🙂

Well its never to late to start smiling 😃 start now 🙂 .... after a while it will become habit, some facts about smiling :

- it takes 78 more muscles to frown then it does to smile 🙂
-smiling releases happy endorphines, which are known to power the body through a hard day and even replace the need to eat as much 🙂
- Prophet SAW said that smiling was charity 🙂 9and seeing how its ramadan, the blessings wil be ten times more)
- smiling helps you socially 🙂

Haha i think we all love a smiling person 🙂 but MashAllah you have three children, so you cant be doin to badly 🙂

I just remember, i don't know about know, but once upon a time ":)" was my "signature" smilie

awww 😃 why once upon a time ? 🙂

@ ocean -- superstious about what? 🙂

I have a slight downturn mouth so... and yeah..i look pretty serious/tired/pissed off. But seeing a kid on the street just MAKES me smile. It's like "hey you little innocent thing who hasnt done anything, and because the whole world HAS done something, i think you deserve a smile"

I often smile randomly at kids in the bus, but its hard, coz they are uncertain (goes to show how many strangers these days smile at random people/kids) so i have to keep smiling until they smile back (*looks at mum* can i smile at her? i think i can *smiles*) and then it can get kinda ugly coz i get conscious of my smiling hence it turns into something not so smily..LOL

ranting.

I dont know if i smile at my friend/family

yesterday i was tickling my littlest sister so much...but i was the one laughing more than her.

I wish the world was just full of kids..

Haha 🙂 well being positive (with smiling) can overcome any superstition 🙂 🙂

@ lilly --Well i say smile at everyone 🙂 even yourself in the mirror 🙂 🙂 🙂

doesmt matter how the other person reacts, because secretly in their heart you will make them smile to 🙂

@ Ocean -- well actually i have to say it has been scientifically proven to release happy endorphines which help dealing with stress, AND being happy and positive has a 78% of getting on a persons good side 🙂

oh and a new medical journal has said that smiling can actually lead to you not eating as much as a grumpy person 🙂 🙂 🙂

[quote=TheDivineExsistence]awww 😃 why once upon a time ? :)[/quote]
it stil is http://www.therevival.co.uk/users/power-silence

@ ocean - its about smiling actualy 🙂

oh dont worry i will 🙂

... o.0

Lol rawrs!

JUST KEEP (on) SMILIIIINNNN

When I was in year 5, my teacher in the classroom had this printout near the blackboard and it said: Most smiles are started by another smile. =D
And from then on, I've become positive. Of course, it's hard to remain happy all the time, we're not robots, but even constantly reminding myself to be happy means that I'm reminding myself to be grateful, cause I have a lot to be thankful about. ;D

In sales they teach you about body language. Conclusion - smiling is very important.

You're trying to sell yourself, not the product. And I'm not talking about prostitution here.

Now see, if someone said, "you have to smile to get them to buy this" i wouldnt be able to smile. I really cant take authority, ATCHOO ATCHOO i think im allergic...
