3. The 3 sciences of Lughāt [language], Naḥw [grammar: Arabic syntax], and Ṣarf [morphology] are all equal in status. It is permissible to put any book of these sciences on top of the other one. On top of those, books of ‘Ilm-ul-Kalām[1] can be placed; on top of those, books of Fiqĥ [jurisprudence] can be placed; and on top of those, books of Ḥadīš and supplications mentioned in the Holy Quran and Ḥadīš can be placed.
Then on top of those, books of Tafsīr can be placed; and finally, on top of all of these, the Holy Quran can be placed. Do not put any cloth on top of a suitcase in which the Holy Quran has been placed. (Fatāwā ‘Ālamgīrī, vol. 5, pp. 323-324)
4. If someone keeps a Holy Quran in his house with the intention of blessings and goodness, but he does not recite it, he will not be sinful. In fact, even this intention of his will be a means of reward for him. (Fatāwā Qāḍī Khān, vol. 2, pp. 378)
5. If the Holy Quran accidently falls from someone’s hands or rack onto the floor, there is no sin for him nor is any Kaffāraĥ [expiation] required.
6. If somebody مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ throws the Holy Quran onto the floor with the intention of disrespect, or puts his feet on the Holy Quran with the intention of disrespect; he will become a Kāfir.
[1]‘Ilm-ul-Kalām is that branch of Islamic sciences which deals with philosophical study of attributes of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
