Can I Read Quran Without Wudu?
Hi all readers! Are you looking for an explanation of “can I read Quran without wudu?”? If your answer is “Yes”, congratulations! Now you are reading the right article. Why? Because that is what I will explain in this article. As Muslims, we must understand that. That's why I wrote this article. So, you should read it to the end!
Specifically, there are six important things about “can I read Quran without wudu?” which I will explain in this article. The six important things I mean are as follows:
Who Is Allowed to Read the Quran?
The first important thing about “can I read Quran without wudu?” what I will explain now is "who is allowed to read the Quran?". I want you to understand that because it is one of the important questions about the Quran that some people don't understand very well.
Before I explain more about “who is allowed to read the Quran?”, I want to say that there is a difference between touching the Quran and reading the Quran. In simple terms, we can understand touching the Quran as the occurrence when the skin comes into contact with the Quran. In general, it is done by hand. While reading the Quran is reciting the verses of the Koran that are seen or remembered. So, touching the Quran and reading the Quran are two different activities.
In the previous article, I have explained that one is not allowed to touch the Quran except in a holy condition, holy from major hadas and holy from minor hadas. I will not explain that again in this article. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend that you read it because in the article there are some important explanations about touching the Quran that Muslims should understand.
So, if we already understand that reading the Quran is reciting the verses of the Quran that are seen or that are remembered and that can be done without touching the Quran, then we can conclude that everyone is allowed to read the Quran. There are several other important things about it which I will explain in the next discussion.
That is a brief explanation of "who is allowed to read the Quran?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
Can I Read Quran Without Wudu?
The second important point about “can I read Quran without wudu?” what I'm going to explain now are specific answers about that and a few other things about it.
If we have understood the explanation in the previous few paragraphs, then we can conclude that we can read the Quran without wudu. Of course, what we must remember is that we should not touch the Quran when we read it if we do not have wudu.
One other important thing that we must understand is that although we are allowed to read the Quran without wudu, but it is better if we perform wudu first before reading the Quran.
Maybe now you are wondering, what is the argument that it is permissible to read the Quran without wudu?
In Islamic legal literacy it is explained that the Prophet Muhammad had read the Koran even though he had a small hadas. Minor hadas are hadas that can be removed by wudu or tayammum.
But can someone who is junub or who has great hadas read the Quran?
In general, we can find the answer to this question in the hadith below:
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ – قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُقْرِئُنَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ جُنُبًا
From Ali radliyallahu anhu, he said, "The Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam recited the Quran to us all the time as long as he was not junub.
So, if we understand the above hadith, then we can conclude that someone who is junub or has a big hadith should not read the Quran.
But there is a difference of opinion among experts in Islamic law about "whether menstruating women and those who are in the postpartum condition can read the Quran or not? The majority of legal experts explain that women who are menstruating and who are in the postpartum condition should not read the Quran even if they do not touch it. However, some scholars of Islamic law from the Maliki school are of the opinion that it is permissible for women who are menstruating and who are in the postpartum period to read the Quran. But if the menstrual blood or postpartum blood has stopped, then they have to do the Janabah bath first if they want to read the Quran.
That's a brief explanation of "can I read Quran without wudu?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
Can I Read Quran without Wudu on My Phone?
The third important point about “can I read Quran without wudu?” what I will explain now is "can I read Quran without wudu on my phone?". I want you to understand that because it is one of the important questions about the Quran that some Muslims don't understand very well.
To be honest, if we read some Islamic literature about “can I read Quran without wudu on my phone?”, then we will find two different opinions:
- Some Islamic legal experts explain that a Muslim can read the Quran on phone without wudu.
The reason for this first opinion is because the Quran on phone is not a Mushaf. What is meant by Mushaf is a paper or several papers in which the letters of the Quran are written. While the Quran on phone is one of the software installed on phone. The software will open if we open it, and will close if we close it. If we open it and read the verses of the Quran that appear on phone, our hands do not touch it directly.
- Some Islamic legal experts explain that a Muslim should not read the Quran on phone without wudu.
The reason for this second opinion is because the Quran on mobile is like a Mushaf. According to this opinion, Mushaf is an object in which the letters of the Quran are written. Therefore, if a Muslim wants to read the Quran on his phone, then he has to perform wudu first because he will touch the Quran.
Now, what is the correct opinion about reading the Quran without wudu on phone?
Of course, I will not force you to choose one opinion. You are free to choose the opinion that is best for you. Each opinion has a rationale. So, you can choose the first opinion or the second opinion.
That's a brief explanation of "can I read Quran without wudu on my phone?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
Do You Need Wudu to Read Quran Online?
The fourth important point about “can I read Quran without wudu?” what I will explain now is “do you need wudu to read Quran online?”. I want you to understand that because it is one of the important questions on the topic we are discussing now.
In the previous discussion, I have explained that there are differences of opinion about the legality of reading the Quran without wudu on phone. Quran on mobile is one type of online Quran. The other type is the Quran which is available on websites.
So, to put it simply, I want to say that there are differences of opinion about the legality of reading the Quran online without wudu. These differences of opinion are like differences of opinion about the legality of reading the Quran without wudu on phone. I think what I have explained before is very clear. So, I'm not going to explain that again.
That's a brief explanation of “do you need wudu to read Quran online?”. As Muslims, we must understand that.
Do You Need Wudu to Read Quran Translation?
The fifth important point about “can I read Quran without wudu?” what I will explain now is “do you need wudu to read Quran translation?”. I want you to understand that so that you have a complete understanding of what we are discussing now.
One important thing I want to make clear before I explain more about “do you need wudu to read Quran translation?”, that there are two types of “Quran translation”:
- Quran is translated word by word.
- Quran is translated to explain its meaning.
Although there are two types of translations of the Quran, the translated Quran is not a commentary. Thus, if a Muslim wants to hold a translated Quran, then he must have wudu.
Now, do you need wudu to read Quran translation?
On the discussion about "can I read Quran without wudu?" I have already explained that a Muslim may read the Quran in any condition except in a state of junub or having major hadas. So, the answer to the question “do you need wudu to read Quran translation?” are as follows:
- A Muslim may read the translated Quran in any condition except in a state of junub.
- According to the majority of Islamic jurisprudence experts, Muslim women who are menstruating or postpartum are not allowed to read the translated Quran, but according to some scholars of Maliki school of Islamic law, they are allowed to read the translated Quran even though they are menstruating or postpartum, but if menstrual blood or postpartum blood has passed. stop, then they must take a janabah bath before reading the translated Quran.
That's a brief explanation of "do you need wudu to read Quran translation?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
Ethics of Reading the Quran
The sixth important point about “can I read Quran without wudu?” what I will explain now is "ethics of reading the Quran". I want you to understand that so you know what you should do and what you shouldn't do if you want to read the Quran and when you read the Quran.
In general, there are four ethics of reading the Quran:
Wudu
Wudu is the first ethic that you should do before you read the Quran. The goal is to remove minor hadas. If you don't have water for wudu, you can do Tayammum. If you have a big hadas, then you have to do the Janabah bath first before you read the Quran.
Cover the Genitals (Aurat)
Covering your aurat is the second ethic that you have to do before you read the Quran and when you read the Quran. You have to do that because what you will read is the word of Allah and the holy book for Muslims.
Facing the Qiblah
Facing Qiblah is the third ethic that you should practice when you read the Quran. Actually, this is a suggestion. What it means is that we are encouraged to face the Qilbah when we read the Quran as when we are praying.
Reading the Quran with Tartil
Reading the Quran with tartil is the fourth ethic that you should do when you read the Quran. What is meant by reading the Quran with Tartil is reading the Quran with the rules for its pronunciation. The goal is that you read the Quran well and not wrongly.
That is a brief explanation of "ethics of reading the Quran". As Muslims, we must understand that.
That's a brief explanation of "can I read Quran without wudu?" and some important things about it. Do you understand? If you want to ask, please ask!
