Reciting the Qur'an during work hours
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am an employee, and I recite the Noble Qur'an during my free time at work, but my supervisor forbids me from doing so, saying that this time is for work, not for reciting the Qur'an. What is the ruling on this? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If you have no work to do, there is no harm in reciting the Qur'an, and the same applies to tasbih, tahlil, and dhikr, which is better than remaining silent. However, if the recitation occupies you and prevents you from doing something related to your work, it is not permissible for you to do so; because the time is designated for work, it is not permissible for you to occupy it with something that hinders you from working.
