What is the ruling on playing the Qur'an in a car when the passengers are not listening to it?

The questioner : Some people argue that if I tell them, "Why are you playing songs in the car?" they say, "If I play the Qur'an and talk, will I be sinful? So that is why I play it."

The Shaykh : First.

The questioner : Can it be said that if he plays the Qur'an and talks, is there a problem with that?

The Shaykh : It is said: Play the Qur'an and do not talk.

The questioner : Does that mean he needs to say, for example, that he must talk?

The Shaykh : All right, it was said, "You are, if Allah wills, my dear, and do not talk." Is not "if Allah wills" a phrase that follows it?

The questioner : No, he says he is able to talk about it, meaning during the recitation.

The Shaykh : He is rewarded if he is not following it and did not play it; he is rewarded, and some of them may shake their head, or even their whole body, and some of them tap their finger on the steering wheel. No, my brother,

The questioner : It is obligatory to make a show with the Qur'an, it is obligatory.

The Shaykh : No, idle talk during the Qur'an is not permissible, just as the disbelievers do with the recitation of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for listening, it is on the basis of recommendation. But if no one is paying attention, and we see that if we turn on the radio to the Qur'an, or record the Qur'an, people find the Qur'an burdensome; sometimes some people find the Qur'an burdensome. In that case, we do not consider it a sin to lower the volume. Yes.
