Is it permissible to set the mobile phone ringtone to the sound of the adhan or to a noble verse?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to set the mobile phone ringtone to the sound of the adhan or to a noble verse?

Answer:
No, do not use dhikr on the mobile phone for the purpose of a call, to alert you to a call. This is a desecration of the dhikr, a desecration of the Qur'an. Set an alarm, set an alarm that alerts you to the call, one that has no melody, no music, just a simple alarm. Yes.
