Is the purchasing of a Qur'an copy permissible?

Primary text

The purchasing of a Qur'an copy is permissible, as stated by Ahmad, who considered it less objectionable than selling. This permissibility is because purchasing constitutes rescuing the Mushaf and expending wealth upon it, which is permissible, similar to the allowance made for purchasing the properties of Mecca or renting its houses from those who forbid their sale or rental, or similar to the case of the land of Sawad. This is easier than selling.
