The ruling on using verses from the Qur'an as phone ringtones

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner, who has used the name 'Atif as a code for his real name, says: Shaykh, are the recitations and supplications in our present time, which are characterized by mobile phone tones, permissible? And do you recommend them?

Answer:
Inserting verses from the Qur'an, or supplications, or a type of supplication such as the qunut or the like, into mobile phones as a notification, a notification for a call, is something that must be avoided and left alone. This is because the verses are used not out of desire for them, but rather they are used for the purpose of notifying him of a call. The supplications are likewise not used to call upon Allah, but rather they are used for the purpose of notifying of a call. This involves insulting this great remembrance. It is possible to set a notification on the phone other than the Qur'an and other than supplications; one can set a notification with a sound that has no melodic singing or ringing, but rather is a notification for the call without containing any religious prohibition. Yes.
