The answer

If one's ablution (wudu') is invalidated during Quran recitation by the emission of wind, then: if the reciter is reading from a (physical copy of the Quran), it is not permissible for him to touch the mushaf while not in a state of purity, due to the Almighty’s saying: {None shall touch it except the purified} (Quran 56:79), and due to the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) saying: "None should touch the Quran except one who is pure." However, if he is reciting from memory, it is permissible for him to complete the recitation without being in a state of purity, but it is preferable for him to stop until he has purified himself.
