Can i pray Quran without Wudhu?

Question

i have a pocket quran on my mobile phone i wanted to know if i could pray it without wudhu or weather i could touch it or not without wudhu

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful  

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh  

1.It is permissible to recite the Quraan without wudhu.

 ويباح له قراءة القرآن لما روي أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم كان لا يحجزه من قراءة القرآن شيء إلا الجنابة  

(Badaa’I us Sanaa’I Vol. 1. Pg. 141 Darul Kutub Deoband)

2.It will be permissible to touch the mobile phone without wudhu, however it will not be permissible to touch the actual text that appears on the screen of the mobile phone without wudhu.

 (قوله مس مصحف) (قوله اى ما فيه آيه) لكن لا يحرم فى غير المصحف الا بالمكتوب: اى موضع الكتابة.

 (Durrul Mukhtaar Vol. 1. Pg. 173 H M Saeed)

And Allah knows best
