Question:
Is it permissible to shake the head or the body when listening to or reciting the Noble Qur'an, in amazement at the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?
Answer:
This is contrary to the Sunnah, because the Sunnah when reciting the Qur'an is tranquility, humility, and listening to the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). He the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:204] Movement, or shaking the head, or shaking the body, this is not from the guidance of the righteous Salaf. Rather, some of them mentioned that it is from the practice of the Christians when reciting their book, so it involves imitating them.
