Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it considered turning away from the Qur'an if one plays a recording of the Qur'an being recited at bedtime and then leaves it playing while he sleeps?
Answer:
No, it is not turning away from the Qur'an. Sleep overtakes you against your will; you did not turn away from it by your own choice. Yes. If you sleep and the Qur'an is not being recited on the recorder, that is not turning away; that is sleep that overtook you against your will. Yes. Even if you went to someone to listen to him, and sleep overtook you—if a person is reciting and you are listening to him, and sleep overtook you and you fell asleep, you are not to blame. Yes.
