View Full Version : Ruling on putting the Athaan/Qur’aan as one’s ring tone on the cell Phone

The ruling on using the Athaan and the Noble Qur’aan instead of music on the cell phones.

Question: What is your opinion regarding whoever places on the cell phone instead of Music, the Athaan or recitation of the Noble Qur’aan?

Answer: This is degrading (or misusing) the Athaan, Thikr, and the Noble Qur’aan. So these should not be taken as alarms (i.e. ring tones). The Qur’aan is not to be taken for use as an alarm. It might be said: “This is better than music!” Ok, the music – are you forced to use it?! Leave the music, and put something that is a alarm tone (i.e. normal ringing). Something that does not contain music, nor does it contain Qur’aan. It should be a simple ring only.

From a tape entitled: Liqaa’ Maftooh ma’a Ash-Shaikh Al-‘Allaamah Saalih bin Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah). Dated 10-23-1426 Hijri.

Wow, I never really thought about it. I have actually seen websites that advertise the Azan and other Islamic ringtones! Yes you are right, it would be extremely disrespectful to have the Azan playing at an inappropriate time and/or to stop it by answering the phone. Thanks for the post!

:w: I agree akhi! Just have it as a ringing sound, and listen to the Quraan on your MP3 device much better, and less disrespectful.

oh! :( I had no idea! I have the most beautiful recitation as my ringtone :( and whenever it plays I'm like *sigh* and I actually put off answering my phone just to listen to it...I know I can listen to it on my mp3 but when it just plays out of the blue I love it! buh i guess I should change it now :-\ also it usually rings when I'm in public, on the train etc and I can just hear the non-Muslims listening and wondering what it is...that kind of makes me think wow! imagine they wanted to hear more after listening to this! lol kind of silly I know. Anyway khayr, JazakALLAH :w:

The normal ringtones i.e. ringing is no different than music. Some kinda "instrument" is used....whats the difference...i jus keep mine on vibrate or put a nasheed containing no music. If thats no good, might as well not have a fone. I keep my fone on vibrate but even at times i dont hear it. And when i see i have like 18 missed calls from my mom, she kinda goes off on me and it aint pretty. She panics if I dont answer and I say it didnt vibrate, but to no avail...lol.

If you're looking for 'halal' ring tones why not download animal calls. My phone fell in a stream but prior to this unfortunate event I use to have everything from birds singing to cows mooing. For morning alarms I would suggest a roaster call.

You see it's really nothing to make a song and dance about (pun not intended).

What about a recitation of Al Fatiha, only answer after each complete verse. :)

Why not use something as simple as:

Isn't the Athaan a type of alarm anyway? Come on, I think this may be a little extreme. I get the point that it is disrespectful because you are stopping the recitation to answer the phone, but this is not the intention to be disrespectful. Everyday we hear the Athaan and stop what we are doing to pray, this is a type of alarm. I think having the Athaan on your phone to remind you to pray is good, but maybe not for an alarm. Maybe it would be better all round to use some type of dua or nasheed. This is all just my opinion. I think the majority of the time we are being tested on our intentions. Everything has to do with the intention.

The athan is a call for prayer, not a call to answer your phone :D. As far as the topic in general, not sure why people go crazy to buy ringtones for their phones, let alone put religious things on it, when they will just end up cutting it off within seconds. Most phones come with mp3 players anyways so why not just use them for that.

You can set an alarm to go off on your phone that goes off during time for salah and you Could make that alarm the athan. It's especially good for salat al fajr.
But as far as an athan being a call to answer your phone, haram.
