Question:
What is the ruling on one who reads the Qur'an while lying in bed without a valid religious excuse?

Answer:
There is no harm in a Muslim reciting the Qur'an in any of the good states, whether he is lying down, standing, or sitting. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite the Qur'an in all his states, and nothing prevented him from reciting the Qur'an except major ritual impurity. And because Allah the Exalted said:
remember Allah standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sidesفاذكروا الله قياما وقعودا وعلى جنوبكم
[An-Nisa 4:103]
And among the greatest remembrance of Allah the Exalted is the recitation of the Qur'an.
