The difference between holding the Quran in hand or on a wooden stand during prayer

Question
It is known that reading from the Quran held in hand invalidates the prayer if it is obligatory, and there is a disagreement regarding the ruling if the prayer is voluntary... Is there a difference in the ruling if the Quran is held on a wooden stand and not held in hand?
Answer

I say, and with God's guidance: The ruling does not differ whether the Quran is held in hand or on a wooden stand; because the reason for invalidation is receiving from another, which occurs in both cases, and God knows best.
