The ruling on using the Qur'an to fill the silence while waiting for calls

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah be pleased with him. You asked about the council of the Shi'ah during the last era, stating that Allah is noble in the recitation of the Qur'an, which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended, and that there are times in it, and that it should not be thought that the Prophet’s explanation is required, or that it should be daily or a broadcast of the Qur'an with its programs.

The Shaykh:
I said this, yes. The Qur'an is not to be used to fill the silence or for waiting. The person who called may not want to hear the Qur'an; he may be preoccupied with things and not pay attention. This exposes the Qur'an to desecration. This is exposure to neglect. The Qur'an is not to be used to fill the silence or for entertainment until the line is opened. This is not appropriate. This is not important. And in the Prophetic hadiths, if it is necessary, one should look for other words that are not from the Qur'an or the Sunnah, a common hadith, a story, or something recorded from speech that contains no objection and no prohibition.

The questioner:
Children, everything.

The Shaykh:
He reads from a book, a book that does not contain verses or hadiths, but rather contains a story or history or something, yes.

The questioner:
A matter that cancels the recited paradise, and in the belly of the book, its signs have been traversed.

The Shaykh:
His action is sufficient. This heart is sufficient.
