Question

People generally place the blessed Qurân safely in a box or bag and travel in a train. Sometimes the rush is so heavy that there is hardly place for the passengers to sit. In this situation, is it permissible for one to keep the box or bag with the blessed Qurân on the floor?

Answer

Certainly not! Man himself creates problems. Otherwise, there are no difficulties. If a man has the love and honour of the blessed Qurân at heart, he will always have in mind the love and respect for it.

From al-Malfūdh Sharif, pg 86:

The first and foremost factor of Imān is respect for the Rasūl şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam. Salāh or any form of ‘ibādah is useless without reverence for the Beloved Rasūl şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam. There are many ‘Abd-Allah’s [servants of Allah Almighty] in this world, but the true and sincere ‘Abd-Allah is he, who is ‘Abde-Mustafa [servant of the Beloved Prophet şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam]. If it is not so, then he is surely an ‘Abde-Shaytan [servant of the cursed devil]. May the Merciful Allah Almighty save us all from this curse! [Ameen!]
