Listening to Qur'an while doing house work
Question
While doing my household activities or even doing my assignments, can I play the audio of different Surahs from Qur'an. Whether I am listening or not as I want to prevent myself from thinking Shaitaani things while doing any work.
Answer
This is not the best thing. The respect of the Qur'an demands that one listen attentively when the recitation is playing.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
