Question
Does one need wudhu to read quran on your phone (electronic) and also do you have to remove your footwear?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الجواب بعون الملك الوهاب اللهم هداية الحق والصواب
Answer
There is a difference of opinion amongst the Scholars regarding touching the Holy Quran on a mobile screen without ablution (Wudhu). Therefore, it is better not to touch the Quran on the mobile screen without ablution. However, if someone touches the Holy Quran on a mobile screen without ablution, then he will not be a sinner.
It is also preferable to take off one’s shoes while reciting, as there is more respect for the Quran. However, it is not obligatory to do so.
