‘Ilm-ul-Kalaam^[1] can be placed; on top of those, books of Fiqh [jurisprudence] can be placed; and on top of those, books of Hadees and supplications mentioned in the Holy Quran and Hadees can be placed.

Then on top of those, books of Tafseer 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. (Fatawa ‘Aalamgiri, vol. 5, pp. 323-324)

٭   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. (Fatawa Qadi Khan, vol. 2, pp. 378)

٭   If the Holy Quran accidently falls from someone’s hands or rack onto the floor, there is no sin for him nor is any Kaffarah [expiation] required.

٭   If somebody مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه 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 Kafir.

٭   A statement made in words of a vow (Qasam) or oath whilst holding the Holy Quran in the hands or placing the hand onto the Holy Quran is recognized as a severe oath (Qasam). However, if someone says something without uttering specific words of a vow/oath while holding the Holy Quran in his hands or placing his hand onto the Holy Quran, the vow (Qasam) will not be established in this case nor will any Kaffarah [expiation] be required. (Fatawa Razawiyyah – referenced, vol. 13, pp. 574-575).
