Is it permissible to play the Holy Quran in chat rooms where young men and women intermingle, for the purpose of guiding them, and does sin result from that?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Holy Quran should not be subjected to raised voices, as this exposes listeners to idle talk when hearing it, which is a characteristic of the polytheists. Scholars have stipulated the prohibition of raising voices over the Quran and Hadith, drawing from the words of Allah Almighty: "O YOU WHO HAVE BELIEVED, DO NOT RAISE YOUR VOICES ABOVE THE VOICE OF THE PROPHET." One can advise those who do this or hold scientific lectures or meaningful songs instead of subjecting the Quran to raised voices, so that obstinacy does not lead to falling into the forbidden.
