The ruling on listening to the Qur'an instead of reciting it for one who is not proficient in reading
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is listening to the Qur'an sufficient in place of reciting it for one who is not proficient in reading and writing?
Answer:
No, that is not sufficient. He should recite the Qur'an to the best of his ability, even if by spelling out the letters, and listen to the reciter. He should combine both recitation and listening, rather than limiting himself to listening only.
