Ramadan greetings.... Etiquettes Of Reciting The Quran 1.6. Permissability of reciting the Quran whilst one is standing, walking, riding, sitting or lying down Those who remember Allâh standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides... (Aali Imran 3:191) 3:191 الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِمْ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَٰذَا بَاطِلًا سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ In order that you may mount firmly on their backs, and then may remember the Favour of your Lord when you mount thereon, and say: "Glory to Him who has subjected this to us, and we could never have it (by our efforts). And verily, to Our Lord we indeed are to return! " (Az-Zukhruf 43:13-14) ********************************************************************* 'Aa`ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: While I would be menstruating the Prophet would recline in my lap and recite the Quran. ********************************************************************** 1.7. Requirement for ritual purity to touch the Quran Which none can touch but the purified (Al-Waqi'ah 56:79) One may hold the Quran via a barrier because in doing so one is not physically touching the Quran. It is permissable to carry the Quran in one's pocket but one cannot enter the toilet with it unless one fears by leaving it outside it will be stolen. 1.8. Permissability of reciting Quran from memory whilst in state of minor ritual impurity It is caterogically forbidden to recite the Quran from memory or from a copy whilst in a state of major ritual impurity (such as after sexual relations or a wet dream). It is permissable to recite the Quran from memory but not from a copy whilst in a state of minor ritual impurity (such as after having answered the call of nature and so on). It is better and more complete to recite the Quran when in a complete state of purity but no criticism is due to the one who does so in a state of minor ritual impurity. The scholars differ which one is better: to recite from memory or directly from the Quran? The majority opine the latter as there is greater precision and blessings of seeing the Quran. A third group say the matter depends on which will give greater humility and presence of heart in the circumstances and if the state is equal for both, then reading directly from the Quran is better as explained above. Imam al-Nawawi after discussing the issue says the sayings and actions of the pious predecessors confirm the detailed opinion. 1.9. Permissability of reciting Quran for menstruating women and those experienceing post-natal bleeding. There is no authentic proof which establishes that these two catergories of women may not recite the Quran although they are forbidden from touching it. 1.10. Recommendation to clean mouth with siwaak (tooth stick) before reciting Quran From good manners and veneration of the speech of Allah is to clean one's mouth and give it a good smell with a siwaak (tooth stick) before recitation. 1.22. Dislike of kissing the Quran and placing it between one's eyes There is no authentic proof for this practice. 1.23. Dislike to hang Quranic verses on walls The scholars forbid this practice as it is contrary to the purpose of recitation and reflection that the Quran was revealed for. It has no precedence from the early Muslims and is a means to possible desecration and other blameworthy actions. Chapter Taken From "The Book of Manners" by Sheikh Fuad Ash-Shulhoob Engr Sulthan
