The reward for listening to the Qur'an while working
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, when the last ten days of Ramadan begin, I sometimes listen to the Qur'an while I am in the kitchen preparing food for my children. Do I receive a reward for listening to the Qur'an without reciting it?
Answer:
Yes, you receive a reward for listening to the Qur'an, just as the one who recites the Qur'an receives a reward. However, reciting is better; it is better for you to recite it yourself than to listen. Listening also carries a reward. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:204] You are rewarded in both matters: in preparing food for the fasting members of your household, and in listening to the Qur'an while working. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you

So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.
