I have been told that I should not play the finger on the Qur’an while reading it. Could you please guide?
Bismillahi Ta’ala
In essence, placing the finger or not doing so are both okay. The guidance given to you could have been with fear of touching Qur’an without wudhu’.
The purpose of using a finger or any such measure is to attain extra focus in recital. If one can not focus without it, then one should utilize this method.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
