Question about the Quran and Cats from Someone Learning

Hello, I'm not Muslim, but I have a lot of respect for Islam and enjoy learning about different faiths. I have a lighthearted question based on something I've read. I understand that it's important to be in a state of cleanliness when handling the Quran. Since cats are considered pure animals, would it be okay if a cat touched or rubbed against the Quran? I was thinking about this because I've seen lots of lovely posts about cats during Ramadan and it made me curious. Thank you for your insights, and Ramadan Mubarak to all who are observing.

Cats are pure, but out of respect, I'd still keep the Quran somewhere they can't knock it down or scratch it. Better safe than sorry.

Good question. The cat's purity is acknowledged, but you should be in wudu to handle the Quran. The cat touching it briefly? Probably okay, but why risk it? Just keep it on a high shelf.

My cat always sits near when I read. Never thought it was an issue, honestly.

Ramadan Mubarak to you too! Thanks for asking respectfully. I'd check with a local imam for the most accurate ruling.

Interesting question! I'd say it's fine if the cat touches it. They're pure animals, and the Quran is protected in its meaning, not just physically. But best to keep it in a clean place anyway.

If my cat jumped on it, I'd just wipe the cover and move on. Not a big deal.
