Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on listening to the Qur'an while doing another job on a computer or any other work?
Answer:
No, if he is occupied away from the Qur'an, if he is occupied away from the Qur'an, then he should not play the recording unless he is turning to it. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:204] If he is listening and paying attention, he plays the recording. But if he is occupied away from it and does not hear anything but the sound only, and does not reflect on the Qur'an, this is what he benefits from. Yes.

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
