Question

During the month of Ramadaan, I recite Quraan Sharif in the Masjid. I then stop my recitation and keep the Quraan Sharif in front of me on a desk. After I complete my Salaah, I continue with my recitation. Is this in order?

Answer

There is no problem in keeping the Quraan Sharif in front of you when performing Salaah, as the Quraan Sharif is not worshipped by anyone.

Ask Ibn Masood

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
