Listening to the Qur'an in Prayer and Outside of It

Question:
Is listening to the Noble Qur'an only in prayer, or does it include all times?

Answer:
This applies in prayer and outside of prayer. Listening to the Qur'an is required when the Qur'an is recited, so listen to it, . And even if the occasion of revelation was in prayer, it encompasses all cases; when the Qur'an is recited, a person listens to the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), he does not speak while Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is reciting His speech. Rather, he listens to it and shows proper conduct toward the speech of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). If he needs to speak, the reciter stops until he is finished, or if it is a recording, the recording stops until he is finished with his speech.
