The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an Without Khushu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Every day, a mudd of sa' for the resident. If a month of Ramadan has passed and she has not made up these ten days, she must make them up and feed one poor person for each day. Is it permissible to make some of the vows, or not?
The Shaykh:
Prayer is recommended. It is recommended because one is in a state of impurity. Every journey of reading the Qur'an is recommended, but my heart is not deceived when I read the Qur'an. So what do you advise me to do? May Allah reward you with good. Advise me to recite the Qur'an, even if you do not attain khushu', because reciting the Qur'an carries a reward. Perhaps, with the recitation and that, regret will arise and khushu' will be achieved, if Allah wills.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
In conclusion, I extend to you my sincere thanks, after thanking Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), for your generosity in answering the questions of our brother listeners. I hope to meet you again, and may you be in the best of health. Dear listeners, our meeting in this episode was with His Eminence Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, a member of the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta, appointed by the Council of Senior Scholars. Thank you, Shaykh Salih. And you, dear listeners.
