Placing the Mushaf in the car and reading from it while driving
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz says that he bought a car for a very high price, and he is afraid of the evil eye. He says: "I have placed a small Mushaf in the car's drawer, and I also recite the Verse of the Throne every morning when I go to work."
The Shaykh:
As mentioned before, one does not read from the Mushaf while driving the car. However, if he is a passenger with other passengers, there is no harm in that. But the driver does not read, neither the Qur'an nor anything else, except from memory, in a way that does not distract him from focusing on driving and controlling the car. Yes.
The questioner:
Placing the Mushaf in the drawer out of fear of the evil eye?
The Shaykh:
This is from taking amulets. The Mushaf is not taken as an amulet or a barrier. The Mushaf is taken for reading and reflection, and it is not made into an amulet or for protection. This is from taking amulets and taking charms. If one takes the Mushaf for the purpose of protecting the car or protecting himself, this is not permissible. However, if one takes the Mushaf to read from it during reading times, other than the driver while driving, there is no harm in that. Yes.
