The Ruling on Greeting a Reciter of the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence! What is the ruling on greeting a reciter of the Qur'an?
The Shaykh : Greeting a reciter of the Qur'an, if you distract him and confuse his recitation, then do not greet him, unless you know that he is expecting your greeting and that if you did not greet him, something would be in his heart; because some people, when they are reciting from memory, if a person greets them, they lose their place,Meaning: not knowing where the recitation ended, so it disturbs him. But if he is reciting from a mushaf, the reciter of the mushaf knows where he ended, so there is nothing wrong with greeting him.
