Is it permissible to listen to the Qur'an while embracing one's wife with the intention of love for the sake of Allah and His Messenger?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is recommended to listen attentively to the Quran for one who is outside of prayer, with the intention of contemplation and taking heed. However, if a person is preoccupied and not paying attention, he should postpone listening. It is disliked to listen to it during sexual intercourse, but it is not disliked when merely embracing one's wife.
