Question:
The questioner says: I have Islamic recordings, and I play the sound of the Qur'an through loudspeakers, so the Qur'an is heard from inside the shop and by those in the street. A person came to me and said that not following the reading is a form of disrespecting the Qur'an, so it should not be played. What is the ruling, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
Making the Qur'an a means of advertising the shop, so that people come and buy when they hear it, is not permissible. It is not permissible to use the sound of the Qur'an for advertising in order to attract people to the shop. This is not permissible and it is a form of disrespecting the Qur'an.
