What is the ruling on playing the Qur’an while working, studying, eating, or drinking?

It is necessary to listen and pay attention when the Qur'an is played, and it should not be played while one is preoccupied with studying or working, especially if those present are busy with their worldly affairs. Some scholars have considered this a form of degradation. However, if a person's work does not distract them from listening, then there is no harm in playing the Qur'an at that time.
