Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there a Shari'ah basis for leaving the Qur'an open and having it recited from the radio or a recorder in a new house?
Answer:
No, no, there is no Shari'ah basis for it. Opening the Qur'an in the house to drive out Satan has no basis, because what is required is the living recitation of the Qur'an, not recitation from a recorder. Reciting the Qur'an is an act of worship, and a recorder does not perform it; the Muslim performs it with his tongue. Yes. So the one who wants the virtue of the Qur'an and the virtue of recitation should recite it himself. Yes.
