Re: Book of Hadith
These so called rules are popular in ......sub-continent, and are often forced. Quranic Verse that states : 'Unclean will not touch it' is referred not to the cleaniness of body but rather the soul/heart.

Do the same rules apply to handling the Book of Hadith as to the Holy Quran? (i.e. Not placing it on the floor, touching it with clean hands, etc.)

so bascially, there is no requirement (unlike salat), to read the quran.
