The Ruling on Using Verses as a Mobile Phone Alert
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, in our present time, mobile phone ringtones include the recitation of the Messenger’s hadiths, Qur’anic recitations, and supplications. What is the Shaykh’s opinion on this? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Using verses, hadiths, or dhikr (remembrance of Allah) on the mobile phone as an alert for a call is a form of desecrating the dhikr and treating it with lightness. Therefore, this action is not permissible. If he wants to set an alert for a call, he should use something other than verses and dhikr. Yes.
