The ruling on producing Qur'an and the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) programs on computers, and the ruling on giving them to children

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Doctor, in his message, the questioner raised another point: that these devices, especially computers, have been utilized or used, by the praise of Allah, in recent times to program the Noble Qur'an and the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). What is the guidance regarding this specific matter?

Answer:
If what you mentioned is true regarding these programs and computers, and that they are being used for good, then this is a good thing and we encourage it. However, I have some concern in my heart about recording the Qur'an on these devices and giving them to children, or recording the Prophetic hadiths and giving them to children, for fear that they may be disrespected. But if they are used by trustworthy hands, hands that protect them from tampering and disrespect, and the children benefit from them, then this is a good thing and better than mere play that has no benefit. Yes.
