Responding to the greeting while reciting the Qur'an.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
If I am reciting the Qur'an, and then a person comes and greets me, should I respond to his greeting or complete the verse?

Answer:
Answer: Complete the verse, then respond to his greeting. It is not prescribed for one to greet the person who is reciting the Qur'an, because this distracts him and interrupts his recitation. So, when he finishes reciting, he should greet him.
