363 - Chapter on the prohibition of taking a copy of the Qur’an to the land of disbelievers if it is likely to fall into the hands of the enemies

1794/1 - Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: “The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that a person should take a copy of the Qur’an to the land of the enemies.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]

Guidance from the Hadīth:

1) It is not permissible for a Muslim to take a copy of the Qur’an to the land of disbelievers, lest they may desecrate it. But if he can preserve it, then there is nothing wrong with taking it; it may even be recommended or obligatory.

2) It is obligatory to respect the Qur’an and protect it from physical and moral filth, for it is the speech of Allah Almighty. {On venerable pages, exalted and purified.}
