Remaining rulings pertaining to the Quran

1.   If someone has placed a copy of the Holy Quran in his house with the sole intention of gaining goodness and blessings and he does not recite it, he will not be sinful. Rather, this intention of his is a means of gaining reward. (Fatawa Qadi Khan, vol. 2, p. 378)

2.   If the Holy Quran unintentionally falls from a person’s hand or off a shelf onto the floor, then there is no sin upon him nor is a Kaffarah (expiation) required of him.

3.   If a person مَعاذَ الـلّٰـه throws the Holy Quran onto the floor with the intention of disrespect, or steps on it with the intention of disrespect, then such a person is excluded from the folds of Islam.

4.   If a person takes the Holy Quran into his hands or places his hand onto it, and then makes a vow or takes an oath, then this is a very severe oath. But, if he does not mention the words of a vow or an oath and only takes the Holy Quran into his hand or places his hand on it, and then says something, this is not considered an oath and there is no Kaffarah (expiation) upon him either. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 13, pp. 574-575, summarised)
