The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an with the Intention of Leaving the House
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the share of the one who used to recite the Qur'an in order to leave this house, and did not recite for the sake of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He)?
Answer:
It depends on his intention. That means he has no [proper] intention; his intention is to leave. As for the one who recites seeking the reward from Allah, he gets the reward from Allah. As for the one who recites in order to leave, he does not get the reward; rather, he gets what he was promised of leaving if he recites and memorizes. However, he should recite and intend to seek the reward from Allah, combining the two matters. He knows that whenever he seeks the reward, it will be granted to him along with the leaving.
