The ruling on kissing the Mus-haf

Kissing Arabic Qur'an is permissible or not:

Q: What is the ruling on kissing the Mus-haf (Arabic Qur'an) if it falls from an elevated place?

A: There is no evidence on the prescription of kissing the Mus-haf. 

However, there is no harm in doing this, 

as it was narrated on the authority of the great Sahaby (Companion of the Prophet) ‘Ikrimah ibn Abu Jahl (رضي الله عنه) that he used to kiss the Mus-haf and say, 

"These are my Lord's Words." 

Anyhow, there is no harm in kissing the Mus-haf, but there is no evidence on its prescription.

 If a person kisses it out of honouring respecting it when it falls from an elevated place, 

there is nothing wrong with this, In shaa Allah (if Allah wills.
