Is it permissible for a Muslim to read the Quran while stretching out his legs?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is nothing reported that prohibits stretching one's legs while reciting the Quran. Allah has commanded His remembrance in all postures, and the Quran is the best form of remembrance. Furthermore, the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to recite the Quran while reclining.
