Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Reciting the Qur'an from the mushaf while a person is lying down or leaning?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite the Qur'an while leaning on the lap of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) while she was menstruating. So if a person recites the Qur'an from the mushaf or from memory while leaning or lying down, there is no blame on him for this.
