A Quran reciter who wishes to record his voice and distribute it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah keep you safe. In her second question, she mentions a fact, O Shaykh, and says that she has a son who is a Quran reciter, and he wants to record this Quran on tapes and distribute them to people. Does this fall under the category of showing off? And is it permissible for him to do so?
The Shaykh : He should not do this, because this falls under the category of self-admiration. I think there are reciters whose recitation is good, so if he wishes for people to listen to the words of Allah, let him record for them and distribute it.
The questioner : All right, a story.
The Shaykh : If he records for himself and distributes it, I fear that this falls under self-admiration.
The presenter : May Allah reward you.
