Question:
This is our sister, the questioner (W. Al-'Umrī), who has a set of questions. She says: Allah the Exalted said: [Al-A'rāf: 204]. It is clear to us from this noble verse that it is obligatory to listen when hearing the verses of the Qur'an. But what is the ruling if a person hears a reciter of the Qur'an and does not listen, but continues his conversation with the second person? Is that permissible for him?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to do so, as long as the reciter is present; he should listen, or otherwise he should get up. He should not engage in conversation while the reciter is present; because Allah says: [Al-A'rāf: 204]. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the imam: Out of respect for the Qur'an and proper conduct with the Qur'an, those present should listen when they hear it, or otherwise they should get up. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
