Title: Is it sinful to have Quran being recited on my ipod or computer while I'm busing working and not really listening to or concentrating on it? Of course, when someone comes to talk to me, I'll stop the recitation, but I'm asking that is it okay to have the recitation on when I'm alone and working and not really listening to or concentrating on it. Please let me know?

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1069/869/B=1431)

I-Pod and computer have turned as instruments of amusement and entertainment. Downloading Quran in it and listening to it is the insult and desecration of the holy Quran; Muslims should avoid it.
