The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an from a Mobile Phone

Question:
And may Allah bless you. The questioner, Abdullah Muhammad, says: Honorable Shaykh, sometimes on mobile phones, verses from the Qur'an or the entire mushaf are provided. Is reading the Qur'an from this mobile phone equivalent to reading from the mushaf, so that the reward is the same?

Answer:
Yes, if the verses are written on the mobile phone and one reads from it, there is no harm. However, do not place this mobile phone in places of degradation, assuming that the Qur'an is written on it. Do not enter with it into bathrooms or places of relieving oneself.
The ruling is the same as that of the mushaf, because they are written verses. They say that it is possible to record the entire mushaf on the mobile phone, in which case it takes the ruling of the mushaf. One must take care of it and keep it away from degradation. One may read from it, but there is no need for it. Allah has not brought it forth to this extent. There are many mushafs of different sizes, some large, some medium, and some small, according to need.
