Reciting Quraan on the floor while someone is lying on a bed
Question
Is it against the respect of the Holy Quran that one recites it by sitting on a praying mat on the floor while other people are sleeping on the bed?
Answer
If there is a need to recite the Quraan Shareef in this way then it is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
