Can the Quran/Mushaf be held without wudu? Can Quran CDs (USB drives, disks) be held without wudu?

The Details of the Question

If it cannot be held without wudu, can the same thing not be valid for a computer, CD, disk, etc that include the Quran? Is Mushaf not a cover/sheath?

The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

Mushaf is the name given to the Quran. It is not permissible to hold even one verse of the Quran without wudu. The cover/sheath that is adjacent to Mushaf cannot be touched without wudu. However, it is permissible to touch the cover/sheath that is not adjacent.

It is permissible to hold the Quran that is in a CD, disk, computer, etc without wudu. For, they are not the Quran.

Besides, the Quran written in them is written electronically.
