Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Umm Fatimah from Riyadh. She says: I am afflicted with obsessive-compulsive disorder (waswas) and have many doubts. When I stay at home, I turn on the radio or the recorder to the Noble Qur'an for twenty-four hours. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
There is no harm in that. Listening to the Qur'an is a great good, along with increasing the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), seeking refuge in Allah from waswas, and reciting Ayat al-Kursi, Surah al-Ikhlas, and the two Surahs of protection (al-Mu'awwidhatayn). This is what Allah uses to remove waswas and worries. Yes.
