The reward of a woman occupied with preparing food in Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Thank you to the brothers and sisters who call the Honorable Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan. Honorable Shaykh, a woman is occupied all day in the house preparing the iftar meal and food and taking care of the family. She asks: Will I miss out on the reward of reciting the Qur'an, tasbih, and dhikr?

Answer:
No, she is on a reward, because this is cooperation in righteousness and piety. Her work is a noble deed, namely serving the fasting people and preparing food for them. So she has a reward in it, and it is a righteous deed, provided she has the intention of seeking reward and a good intention. As for reciting the Qur'an, if she has the Qur'an memorized, she can recite while she is working. If she does not have the Qur'an memorized, she can turn on the recorder, the Qur'anic recordings, and listen to them, and she will obtain the reward, if Allah wills, whether by reciting or listening. Yes.
