All praise is due to Allah (swt). We ask for His guidance and seek refuge from the evil within ourselves.
Question:
Is it permissible to read from the Quran or a phone during Taraweeh prayers?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah.
It is generally considered permissible and encouraged to recite from the Quran during Taraweeh prayers. Taraweeh prayers are special nightly prayers performed during the month of Ramadan, and reciting from the Quran is an integral part of these prayers. Many Muslims aim to complete the recitation of the entire Quran during the month of Ramadan through Taraweeh prayers.
The use of electronic devices, such as phones or tablets, for reading from the Quran during Taraweeh prayers is a topic of debate among scholars. Some scholars allow it, especially if it facilitates the recitation for individuals who may not have a physical copy of the Quran or have difficulty reading from a printed text. However, others may discourage it due to concerns about distractions, reverence for the Quran, and the potential for misuse of electronic devices during prayer.
Regardless of the method of recitation, it is important to maintain the sanctity of the prayer and to focus on worshiping Allah during Taraweeh prayers. This includes avoiding distractions, maintaining humility and concentration, and showing reverence for the Quran and the act of prayer itself.
Allah knows best.
