Ibn Bazz: Are children obliged to offer Wudu' to touch the Mus­haf Tape



( Part No : 10, Page No: 146) 
Are children obliged to offer Wudu' to touch the Mus­haf Tape no. 523 
Q: A question from a female listener: G.M.A. She says: I work as a teacher in a primary school where I teach the Qur'an to girls in class two. They are young, so they do not master
Wudu' (ablution), they may not even care to do so. But, they touch the Mus­haf (Arabic Qur'an) and repeat after me in recitation without performing Wudu'. Is there a sin upon me for this, even though I have taught them how to perform Wudu'? 
A: If these girls are above seven years old, they should learn how to perform Wudu', then be allowed to touch the Mus­haf. If they are younger, their Wudu' is not valid and they are not obliged to do so. Rather, the instructed Ayahs (Qur'anic verses) are to be dictated for them on boards and papers. They should not touch the Mus­haf. This shall suffice for them In sha’a­ Allah (if Allah wills). They should strive in that at this stage. Your duty is to direct, guide, and instruct them. May Allah reward you well.
