The Ruling on Placing Verses of the Qur'an as a Mobile Phone Ringtone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on placing the adhan or a du'a as a mobile phone ringtone instead of the bell tone?
Answer:
This is not permissible, because this is using the Qur'an for something other than what it was revealed for. Use what is intended for recitation, or what is intended only for notification; that is sufficient. It is enough to set a notification on the phone that is not from the Qur'an. The Qur'an is not used for needs and things; it is not used except for what it was revealed for, which is reflection and action. It is not used as a notification or the like. Yes. And as far as I know, the Fiqh Council in Makkah recently issued a prohibition of this matter; a prohibition of this matter was issued. Yes.
