Summary
The Quran displayed on a mobile phone screen does not fall under the scholars' definition of a mushaf, so touching the phone to read it without wudu is permissible. The prohibition on touching without purity applies only to a genuine mushaf. Reciting the Quran in a state of minor impurity is also permitted, though being in purity is preferable, while those in major impurity or menstruating are forbidden from reciting it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, dapat difahamai bahawa al-Quran yang dibuka di dalam telefon pintar tidak termasuk di dalam kategori mushaf seperti mana yang ditakrifkan oleh ulama.
