Questioner:

Shaikh, is it allowed for me to place a book on top of the Mushaf? And what is the meaning of the statement: “It [the Quran] is always superior and should never be surpassed” because some brothers, if something is placed on top of the Mushaf, say this. Is This not allowed?

Shaikh:

When something is placed on top of the Mushaf?

Questioner:

Yes, Shaikh

Shaikh:

Yes, this contradicts with statement of the Exalted:

“Whoever venerates the signs of Allah, then that is the taqwa of the hearts”

[22:32].

Questioner:

May Allah bless you
