Reading Quran in Bed Before Sleeping: Permissible?

24 November, 2017
Q Can I read Quran while in bed before sleeping? I sometimes stay in bed a long time before falling asleep.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.


In this fatwa:

There is nothing wrong with reading the Quran in bed before sleeping.


Responding to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states:

There is absolutely nothing wrong in reading Quran while in bed before sleeping. It has been reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) as well as his Companions did the same.

Therefore there is nothing in the sources prohibiting it so long as one is doing so in a state of complete purification.

Allah Almighty knows best.
