Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to recite the Qur'an while I am sleeping or leaning, or to say the dhikr (remembrance of Allah) while in such a state?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Ali 'Imran 3:191] [An-Nisa 4:103] And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to remember Allah in all his states. So there is no harm in your reciting the Qur'an while walking, sitting, lying down, standing, or sitting in any state, except while relieving oneself. Yes.

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:

يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِمْAnd when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sides.
فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِكُمْ
