The ruling on a person listening to the Qur'an while in a state of ritual impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, among the questions is one asking about listening to the Noble Qur'an while it is being recited, and the person is in a state of ritual impurity. Is it valid for him to listen to it?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with listening to the Qur'an while in a state of ritual impurity, just as there is nothing wrong with reciting the Qur'an from other than the mushaf, provided he is in a state of ritual impurity, if he is reciting from memory and the impurity is minor. As for major ritual impurity, it prevents the recitation of the Qur'an absolutely, whether from the mushaf or from memory, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not prevented from reciting the Qur'an except by major ritual impurity. Yes.
