Can I read the Quran without wudu?

Published in Quranic Purity 1 min read

It is permissible to recite the Quran without wudu. However, you cannot touch a physical copy of the Quran without being in a state of ritual purity (wudu).

This is based on the understanding that wudu is required before handling the physical text of the Quran as a sign of respect and reverence.

Practical tips:

  • If you are reading from a physical copy of the Quran, ensure you have performed wudu before touching it.
  • You can freely recite the Quran from memory or electronic devices without needing wudu.
