Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: Honorable Shaykh Abu 'Abdullah, and in truth, this question comes up often. He says: Some young men, or some people, are seen at the traffic signals with a small mushaf, and then they recite the Qur'an while the light is red. Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on reciting in these cases?
Answer:
He does not expose himself to danger, and he does not read from the mushaf. If the light has turned green, or if people have noticed him, he must avoid the danger. Recitation has another time for it; it has another time. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
