Pearl of Wisdom

'Abu al-Hasan Musa b. Ja'far, for about ten years, performed a single prostration from sunrise until noon. [He continued], 'Harlin would sometimes climb onto a roof that overlooked the prison cell wherein he had imprisoned Abu al-Hasan. He would see Abu al-Hasan (AS) in prostration. He asked al-Rab!', 'What is that cloth I see on that spot everyday?' He said, ?O commander of the faithful! That is not a cloth but Musa b. Ja'far (AS). He performs a prostration every day from sunrise until noon.' Harlin said, 'He is indeed one of the holy men from the Bani Hashim.' I asked, 'Then why have you confined him to captivity?' He said, 'Alas! That is how it must be.'

Question : #557 Category: Wudhu / Ghusal
Subject: Wudhu and Quran
Question: Assalam o Alaikum.

Wadhu is necessary for touching Quranic verses. My question is, what about touching quranic text which is being displayed on a TV/computer/mobile screen?

Can we touch these screens without wadhu? Kindly tell the fatwa of Ayatollah Sistani.
Answer: Alaykum Salaam,

According to his Eminence Ayatollah Sistani, it is haraam to touch the script of the Holy Quran with any part of ones body, without performing Wudhu.

However, there is no harm in touching the translation of the Holy Quran, in any language, or different mediums without Wudhu.
