Question: I am a teacher in a
primary school and I teach the Noble Quraan as a subject to young girls. These
girls are very young in age and they are not able to make Wudhoo very well,
perhaps because of this they are not even considered as those who have made
Wudhoo. They touch the Mushaf and they follow me as I recite and they do this whilst they are not
in a state of Wudhoo[1].
So are they sinful? And is it compulsory upon me to teach them how to do the
Wudhoo or not?
Answer: If these girls are seven years old then they
should be taught on how to make Wudhoo until they do it properly, then they
should be allowed to touch the Mushaf. However, if they are not able to make
Wudhoo then they are not in a state of Wudhoo, then you should write down the
lesson (i.e. what you are teaching them from the Quraan) on the board or on
paper so that they don’t touch the Mushaf
(without Wudhoo). And this would be sufficient from you, Allaah Willing, and
you should be cautious on doing this, and it is also incumbent upon you to
guide them and teach them (to the rulings pertaining to this). May Allaah
Reward you with good.
[1] Note, the questioner is asking about
a copy of the Quraan in Arabic, not English; as the ruling of being
Islaamically pure when touching the Quraan only apply to the Arabic Mushaf: see
Majmoo’ of Ibn Baaz (24/340).
