Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks, Honorable Shaykh, about talking and speaking while the Qur'an is being recited in gatherings, as they play it from a tape, and a group of people talk. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said:[Al-A'raf 7:204] So playing the recorder or turning on the radio to the Qur'an, if there is no listening and attentiveness, is not permissible. So either they listen to the Qur'an and reflect upon it, or they turn off the radio or the mobile phone and engage in conversation. Yes. May Allah reward you with good and bless you.

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
