The ruling on reading from the mushaf while driving a car

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for me to open the mushaf while I am driving the car and read from it while driving, knowing that I sometimes take the wrong road? Is there a sin on me for that?

Answer:
It is permissible for you to do this. This is dangerous. It is not permissible for you to do this. If you have memorized the Qur'an, read from your memory while driving the car. As for opening the mushaf and looking at it, this is dangerous for you, for the passersby, and for the passengers with you. No, no, this is not permissible. There are many times for reading the Qur'an. Yes.
