What is the ruling on setting the sound of the adhan or the recitation of the Qur'an as a mobile phone ringtone?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is your view on one who sets the sound of the adhan or the recitation of the Qur'an as a mobile phone ringtone?

Answer:
This is not for the sake of the Qur'an or the dhikr, nor out of desire for them; he only wants an alarm. One does not use the Qur'an or the dhikr as an alarm; they are used for worship, for worship only, not merely as an alarm. So he can set an alarm that is not the Qur'an or the dhikr, such as a bell or something that rings, a ring without music. Yes.
