Question:
When is listening to the Qur'an and the noble remembrance obligatory?
Answer:
Always. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:204] This is a general statement, and although the occasion of its revelation was during prayer, the ruling is based on the generality of the wording, not the specificity of the occasion. So when the Qur'an is recited, it is obligatory for you to listen and pay attention to the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes, and it is not permissible for you to speak while the Qur'an is being recited. Yes.
