What is the ruling on placing Quranic recordings in the "Music" folder on a mobile phone when there is no other option, and is someone who opens a Quranic video considered an infidel (kafir) if forbidden images from the same site appear on the side of the screen?
A widespread issue with modern phones is the naming of folders designated for audio files as "music." There is no harm in saving recordings of the Holy Quran in them if it's not possible to create a dedicated folder. It is not an act of disbelief (kufr) to listen to the Quran from a website that displays forbidden advertisements unless the listener deliberately intends to do so with the purpose of mocking the Quran, which would be clear disbelief. It is advisable not to listen to the Quran from such websites and instead to turn to clean websites that respect the Quran, such as Islamweb Audio.
