Encouraging attentiveness when listening to the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message was sent from the city of al-Qaryat by the listener (S. S.) al-Sarari, who says: We keep the radio on the Holy Qur'an broadcast continuously so that the house is always filled with the remembrance of Allah. Sometimes we leave the house while it is still on, and sometimes we talk and converse while it is reciting. Is leaving it on while we are not present considered extravagance?
And is it permissible for us to talk while it is playing, or is it necessary to listen attentively? May Allah reward you with good. And if some people are listening while others are talking, is that permissible?
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
What is prescribed for the believer when listening to the Qur'an is to be attentive. So if you turn it on for the Qur'an, be attentive, listen, and benefit from it, and do not talk while the Qur'an is being recited. Allah the Exalted says: [Al-A'raf: 204]. It is prescribed for the believer to seek this good and strive for it. When he hears the recitation from the radio, from the Holy Qur'an broadcast, or from a person reciting in their gathering, they should listen and benefit, and not be occupied with idle talk. If you leave and no one is in the house, turn it off; this is better because there is no need to keep it on when no one is there to benefit from the recitation. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
