Question:
Our brother asks and says: Is it permissible for me to read the Qur'an from the mushaf while I am lying down?
Answer:
There is no harm. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says in His great Book: [Al-Imran: 190-191.
And dhikr (remembrance of Allah) is done by reciting the Qur'an, and by tasbih, tahmid, tahlil, and takbir, and by du'a' (supplication) and istighfar (seeking forgiveness). Reciting the Qur'an is included among these. So if he recites it while standing, or sitting, or on his side, or lying on his back, all of this is permissible, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: Praise be to Allah.
