Short Answer: In Islam, touching a phone that contains Quranic text does not require clean hands. Bodily discharges such as mucus, sweat, or tears are considered pure, not Najis. Scholars agree that while wiping them off with tissue or water is recommended for etiquette, it is not sinful or disbelief to handle a phone with Quran without washing.
Bodily discharges from the nose, eyes, or ears are not considered ritually impure, even though they’re dirty. We should try to wipe our hands or clothes when we come into contact with them.
According to Imam Khalil “bodily fluids like sweat, tears, saliva, and mucus are pure. Although they may appear unclean, they do not affect our prayer or handling a Mushaf or a phone with Quran recordings.
This view is supported by evidence from sources and the actions of the Prophet’s companions, including explicit statements from Ibn `Abbas. The Prophet (peace be upon him) warned against being too rigid in religious matters, so there’s no need to be strict about these issues. However, wiping them off your hands and face with water or tissue is still good.
