We do not know of any evidence (daleel) to suggest that it is prescribed in sharee’ah to kiss it, but if a person does so, there is nothing wrong with that. It was narrated that the great Sahaabi ‘Ikrimah ibn Abi Jahl used to kiss the Mus-haf and say, “This is the word of my Lord.” Whatever the case, there is nothing wrong with kissing it, but it is not prescribed to do so and there is nothing to indicate that it is prescribed in sharee’ah. But if a person kisses it as an act of veneration and respect if it falls from his hand or from a high place, there is nothing wrong with that, in sha Allaah.

Islam Question and Answer - Ruling on kissing the Mus-haf

Hmm this has confused me a little, if it's an innovation shouldn't it be avoided at all costs? Or is it the case that it 'becomes' a bid'ah only if one thinks that it is compulsory to kiss the Qur'an, rather than one who merely kisses it out of love but not thinking that it's necessary to do so?

[bhaloo911]

Salafis say that all innovation should be avoided but then here they say its allowed?

something just doesnt seem right.

It should be avoided as said shaykh Albani, see attachment in first post.
