Ruling on reading the Qur’an from the phone?

Abu Dhabi - "Jerusalem" dot com - The month of Ramadan is the best month of the year, and it has many blessings, and in it the worshipers strive to obey God and worship Him in every possible way, and with the technological development that humanity is witnessing today, some forms of worship have also differed, including reading the Noble Qur’an Here, many Muslims are wondering about the ruling on reading the Qur’an from a phone.

Dr. Ahmed Mamdouh, Director of the Sharia Research Department and Secretary of Fatwa at Dar Al Iftaa, explained the ruling on reading the Qur’an from the phone in one of the videos via the Dar’s official YouTube channel, stressing that there is no objection to this matter and it is legally permissible.

The Secretary of the Fatwa pointed out that the reward in this case is one, and what some people think is that the reward for reading the Qur’an from the phone is less than reading from the Noble Qur’an is “wrong.”



And the Secretary of the Fatwa pointed out, during his talk about the ruling on reading the Qur’an from the phone, that the reward for reading from the phone or the Qur’an is the same, so the main goal is to recite the Qur’an and ponder the meanings of the noble verses, and as long as the primary goal of recitation is achieved, then the reward is also fully achieved.
In a related context, Dr. Muhammad Abd al-Samie, Secretary of the Fatwa at the Egyptian House of Iftaa, spoke about the ruling on reading the Qur’an from the phone, in his answer to a question received by the house, in a live broadcast on its page on the social networking platform “Facebook”, regarding whether ablution is necessary. It is obligatory for the servant when reading the Qur’an from the phone, as he confirmed at the time that ablution while reading from the phone is not obligatory.

Abdul Samie explained that ablution before reading the Qur’an came because holding the Holy Qur’an requires purity. As for the case of reading from the phone, the slave in that case does not harm the Holy Qur’an, so ablution is not necessary.
