DO NOT RAISE YOUR VOICES WITH THE QUR’AAN OVER OTHERS

Question:

When an individual or a group of people are praying is it permissible in Islaam for others to raise their voices when they recite the Qur’aan?

Answer:

When people are praying in the Masjid, Islaam does not permit others to raise their voices – regardless of whether they are reciting the Qur’aan, reciting invocations, or speaking worldly talk that would cause them to disturb each other. In one Hadith, we are told that none of us should read the Qur’aan aloud over others.
Moreover, your question raises another issue: if one is reciting the Qur’aan loudly while others are praying the obligatory prayer, then that person has committed another sin other than that of disturbing Muslims, and that is not praying in congregation.

READING THE QUR'AAN WHILE LYING ON A BED

 

Question:

While I am lying down ready to go to sleep, may I read the Qur'aan


Answer:

Yes, it is allowed for one to recite while lying on a bed except while Junub (in a state of sexual impurity), in which case he may not recite from the Qur'aan until having performed Ghusl.

A PERSON IN A MINOR STATE OF IMPURITY MAY NOT TOUCH THE QUR'AN

Question:

If a person is in a minor state of impurity – such as someone who passes wind, urinates, of defecates – may he recite the Qur’aan?


Answer:

Such a person may recite but not touch the Mushaf, for complete purification is not one of the requisites for reciting the Qur’aan. On the other hand, a person who is Junub may neither touch nor recite the Qur’aan until he performs Ghusl, yet he may still recite certain invocations from the Qur’aan, such as, “Bismillah-ir-Rahmaan-ir-Raheem,” or when he is afflicted, “Indeed we belong to Allaah, and indeed, to Him are we returning.”

AUDIO CASSETTES ARE NOT LIKE PAPER

Question:

Is it permissible to throw audio cassettes into the garbage which contain recordings of the Qur’aan or of sayings of the Prophet sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam?

Answer:

These cassettes which include some Prophetic Hadiths or verses of the Qur’aan do not actually have the same status of verses of the Qur’aan or Hadiths. They are merely reels of tape that result in a voice being heard when played in a tape machine. So they do not fall under the ruling of papers upon which something is written from the Qur’aan or Hadiths.
Therefore, as long as one does not have the intention of debasing the Qur’aan, there is no harm in discarding them as one pleases; the same goes for entering the washroom with such tapes, there is no harm in that, since neither verses of the Qur’aan, nor Hadiths appear on such cassettes.

MENSTRUATING WOMEN AND WOMEN EXPERIENCING POST-NATAL BLEEDING: MAY THEY TOUCH THE QUR’AAN?

 

Question:

Noble Shaykh, it is a habit of mine that I recite certain chapters of the Qur’aan before I go to sleep, but there are days when I cannot do this because of my monthly period. May I write the chapters I wish to read on a piece of paper, so that I can read them during my period?


Answer:

Menstruating women and women experiencing post-natal bleeding may recite the Qur’aan, according to the most correct view from the scholars, since there is no authentic proof that points to the contrary.
However, they may not touch the Mushaf. What they can do is hold it indirectly, by placing a cloth, for instance, between the hand and the Qur’aan, and the same ruling applies for a piece of paper upon which is written parts of the Qur’aan. And with Allaah is the facilitation to do what is right.
