The questioner : What is the ruling on greeting a reciter of the Qur'an?
The Shaykh : Yes, regarding greeting a reciter of the Qur'an: if you are distracting him or disrupting his recitation, do not greet him unless you know that he is expecting your greeting and that if you did not greet him, it would bother him. This is because some people, when reciting from memory, lose their place if someone greets them, meaning they do not know where the recitation ended, so it disturbs them. However, if he is reciting from a mushaf, the reciter from a mushaf knows where he ended, so there is nothing wrong with greeting him. Yes.
