Question:
Salih, may Allah preserve you, is it permissible to recite the Noble Qur'an while the reciter is on his back or on his side, like a person sleeping, without an excuse that prompts him to do so?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that,
remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sidesيَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِمْ
[Ali 'Imran 3:191]
, so one may recite the Qur'an standing, sitting, walking, or on his side, yes.
