Reading the Qur'an from a mobile phone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, it is known that some of the Salaf (the earliest generations) recommended looking at the mushaf (a written copy of the Qur'an) and reading from it, as it is more conducive to reflection and contemplation. Is looking at the verses of the Qur'an on a mobile phone and reading from it similar to that, or does the mushaf have a special status?
Answer:
No, it is looking at the writing, the writing of the Qur'an, whether it is in the mushaf or on the mobile phone. This varies according to people. If a person’s recitation from memory is more present in his heart, he reads from memory. If his recitation from the mushaf or from a written text is more present in his heart, he reads from the mushaf. Yes.
