Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

Is it obligatory to stop everything and listen to the Quran when being recited (sometimes it is being recited in many mosques at the same time)? What if the voice is not understood? What if one cannot hear the voice well?

Answer

In the name of Allah, the verse which ordered us to listen to Quran has been clarified by the Infallibles (PBUH) as the one which is recited loudly by the Imam (the leader of the congregational prayers) and it is obligatory for the one who prays after the Imam to listen to it if he hears the Imam’s voice. Allah knows best.
