Listening to Surahs where Sajdat al Tilawahis is necessary.

[new2010]

Assalamualaikum,

may we listen to surahs where Sajdat al Tilawahis is obligatory? I mean it's hard when you're outside e.g bus, work etc. What to do here?

[AabiruSabeel]

:wasalam:

When you listen to recorded recitation, Sajdah tilawah is not necessary. It is only required for live tilawah.

barak Allahu feek.

What about when we read Islamic books in English and the author quotes ayat from the Quran to proof his point. Do we have to say all the time the Basmala when we recite them?

[AabiruSabeel]

Normally we say Basmala when we start reciting from the starting of a Surah. If we start reciting from the middle of a Surah, then only the Ta'awwudh is said.


When we read a book in English, usually we read it in our minds, without moving our tongue and lips. But for the recitation of the Qur'an, it is important to recite using the mouth, the tongue and lips must be moved. Otherwise the recitation is not counted and one does not get rewarded for it.

So when you come across an Ayah (in Arabic) written in an English book, and you want to recite it, then it is always recommended to say the Ta'awwudh.

One more question actually: Is it or right reading touching those books without having wudoo? Heard in a lecture there is even difference of opinion when it comes to touching a mushaf without wudoo. I am wondering how to deal with books mentioned above?

[AabiruSabeel]

For books other than the Mushaf, the place on the page where the Ayah is written should not be touched without wudhu. Same applies to reading on screen, when an Ayah is displayed, that portion of the screen should not be touched without wudhu.

SubhanAllah, I did that instinctively. Barak Allahu feekum!
