The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on the imam reading the Qur'an from his mobile phone during the obligatory prayer?

There is nothing wrong with that. He may read from the mobile phone or from the mushaf; there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
The questioner:
During the obligatory prayer.
The Shaykh:
No, in the obligatory prayer, it does not reach the point where he reads whatever is easy for him of the Qur'an, even if it is from the short surahs. Yes.
