The ruling on reading the Qur'an from an electronic mushaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, I have an electronic mushaf on my phone. Is it permissible for me to read from it? Does my reward decrease compared to reading from the printed mushaf? And is wudu' obligatory for me when reciting?
Answer:
Yes, read the Qur'an from the mushaf stored on the mobile phone. Wudu' is not obligatory for you because it is not a mushaf; rather, you are reading from text on the mobile phone. The mobile phone is not called a mushaf, nor is it treated as a mushaf; it is treated as a mobile phone, but the Qur'an is stored on its screen. This is a means of assistance in reciting the Qur'an, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
