Permissibility of Reciting the Qur'an While Lying Down

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He also asks: Is it permissible for a person to recite while lying down?

Answer: There is nothing wrong with that. There is no harm in reciting the Qur'an while standing, sitting, or lying down. This is based on the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He):
And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sidesفَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمُ الصَّلاةَ فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَى جُنُوبِكُمْ
[Surat al-Nisa: 103]. The term "remembrance" encompasses tasbih, tahlil, and takbir, and it encompasses the Qur'an, which is a form of remembrance. It is also based on the statement of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), as narrated by Muslim in the Sahih, where she said:
The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) used to remember Allah at all moments.كان الرسول ﷺ يذكر الله على كل أحيانه
Sahih Muslim 373
This encompasses being standing, sitting, or lying down. The texts encompass all of this. Yes.
