Question:
Also, this woman says: I am an elderly woman, and when I recite the Qur'an, I get tired and my breath runs out. After that, I like to listen to it from tapes. So, is there a reward for me in doing so?
Answer:
Yes, recitation is more complete and better, and listening is also good and carries a reward. He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-A'raf 7:204] And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to listen to the recitation of some of his Companions. There is a great reward in listening, but recitation and direct engagement with the reading is better. Yes.
