Question

  What is the definition of a Shari’a Ma’zoor person? If a  teacher of Quran suffers from this inability, then will he be allowed to touch the Holy Quran, without having anything in between his hand and the Holy Quran, while teaching or listening to the Holy Quran from children?

بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

  A Shari’ Ma’zoor person is the one who suffers from the disease of breaking wind or passing drops of urine or persistent diarrhoea, etc. under the following condition: The complete time of one Salah passes in such a way that he is unable to make Wudu and offer only Fard Salah without suffering from that disease despite making considerable efforts. Although he might get free from the disease for a very short period of time, yet it is not sufficient to make Wudu and offer Fard Salah. Existence of this condition is necessary to be proved  a Shari’Ma’zoor and as long as this condition exists or he suffers from the disease at least once within the time of one Salah, he will remain a Shari’ Ma’zoor. However, if the complete time of any Salah passes without him suffering from this Wudu-invalidating condition, he will no longer remain a Shari Ma’zoor.

  The commandment of Shari’ah for such a person is that he must make Wudu after the time of Fard Salah has started and now he may offer as many Fard and Nafl Salahs as he wants till the end of the time of that Salah. Besides, he may also touch the Holy Quran without having anything in between his hand and the Holy Quran. After the time of that Fard Salah ends, his Wudu will become invalid. However, within the complete period of that Salah, his Wudu will not become invalid due to the disease which has made him a Shari’ Ma’zoor. For instance, if he suffers from the disease of passing drops of urine, his Wudu will not become invalid in case of passing drops of urine. However, breaking wind or experiencing any other Wudu-invalidating condition will invalidate his Wudu.

  This ruling has made it clear that if the teacher of Quran is a Shari’ Ma’zoor, he may touch the Holy Quran without having anything in between his hand and the Holy Quran while teaching or listening to the Holy Quran from children. He may do so for as long as the commandment of a Shari’ Ma’zoor applies to him.

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ  عَزَّوَجَلَّ  وَرَسُوْلُہ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
