The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an During Free Time at Work
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have free time at work which I spend reciting the Qur'an from the mushaf. When work comes to me, I stop reciting and complete the work, then I return to reciting, and so on until the end of the daily shift. What is the ruling on this, O Shaykh?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. Good, provided it does not conflict with the work. Provided it does not conflict with the work or diminish the work. So if you have free time in which there is no work, you recite the Qur'an and remember Allah the Exalted, or you pray a voluntary prayer, waiting for when the work comes. But if you do not leave the work, saying, "So that I pray, so that I recite the Qur'an," no, that is not permissible. Yes.
