The ruling on using a verse or supplication as a phone alert
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on one who sets a phone alert using a verse or a supplication?
Answer:
One does not use the prescribed dhikr or the Qur'an merely as an alert. This is a form of disrespecting the Qur'an and disrespecting the dhikr. The alert should be something else, such as a light bell that you hear to wake you up, a light alert. You do not use the dhikr when you do not intend to seek reward, but rather intend to listen to it and benefit from it; you are only using it as an alert. This is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
