What is the ruling on raising one's voice with the Qur’an through recorders in the house of the deceased?
The Quran alleviates sorrows by being recited privately, not by being announced through loudspeakers, which mixes it with amusement. The gathering of the deceased's family to receive condolences is an innovation (bid'ah). The prescribed action is for the deceased's family to close their doors. If they meet someone or a visitor comes without prior arrangement, there is no harm in that. Wailing is among the major sins. These customs are newly invented and further distance Muslims and the dead, bringing them torment.
