Listening to the Qur'an while working on a computer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a person is working on a computer, either writing files or browsing the internet, is it permissible for him to listen to the Qur'an in this state? Is it permissible for him to turn on the radio broadcast of the Noble Qur'an? What is the ruling on this for women in their homes, in the kitchens, keeping the radio broadcast of the Qur'an on at all times? And what is your opinion of those who condemn this?
Answer:
There is a distinction here. If his recitation of the Qur'an or listening to the Qur'an affects the work entrusted to him, the work for which he was employed, then he does not recite the Qur'an and does not listen to it; rather, he performs the work, because performing the work is obligatory upon him. As for listening to the Qur'an, it is recommended, and one does not occupy oneself with a recommended practice while neglecting an obligation.
As for if listening to the Qur'an does not distract him from performing the work, there is no harm in his reciting the Qur'an and listening to the Qur'an. The criterion is his listening to the Qur'an and benefiting from it, and that this does not affect the work required of him in his job, that this does not affect the work required of him in his job. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
