Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on reading from any book while listening to the Qur'an? Does this conflict with listening to the Qur'an?

Answer:
Yes. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attentionوَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا
[Al-A'raf 7:204]
So reading from a book conflicts with listening attentively. Yes.
