Question:
Another questioner says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, it is known that some of the Salaf recommended looking at the mushaf and reading from it, as this is more conducive to reflection and contemplation. Is looking at the verses of the Qur'an on a mobile device and reading from it, or specifically from the mushaf, similar to that?
Answer:
First, this varies from person to person. If reading from the mushaf is easier for him, he should read from the mushaf; if reading from memory is easier for him, he should read from memory. This varies from person to person. As for looking at the written Qur'an, whether in the mushaf, on a tablet, or on a device, there is nothing wrong with it; they are all the same. Yes.
