anything wrong with a sexually impure person reciting the Qur'an. The Prophet, upon whom be peace, used to mention Allah
under all circumstances." In Ibn Hajr's notes to that work, he says, "There is no authentic hadith reported by the author (al-
Bukhari) concerning the prohibition of reciting by one who is sexually impure or menstruating." The sum total of what has
been related on this issue informs us on this point, though the interpretations differ.
Fiqh-us-Sunnah
Fiqh 1.144a
Sunnah acts of prayer, What Is Preferred to be Done During the Recitation
It is sunnah to make one's voice beautiful and nice while reciting the Qur'an. The Prophet, upon whom be peace, said,
"Beautify your voices with the Qur'an." He also said, "He is not one of us who does not chant the Qur'an," "The one with the
best voice with the Qur'an is the one that when you hear him, you feel that he fears Allah," and "Allah never listened to
anything like he listened to his Prophet chanting the Qur'an with a beautiful voice."
Says an-Nawawi, "It is sunnah for anyone who is reciting the Qur'an, whether he is praying or not, to ask Allah for His
blessings when he comes to a verse of mercy. When he comes to a verse (describing) punishment, he should seek refuge in
Allah from Hellfire, punishment, evil, from what is hated, or he may say, "Allah, I ask You for well-being, etc." When he comes
to a verse that glorifies or exalts Allah, he should say, "Glory be to Allah," or "Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds," and
so on. Hudhaifah ibn al-Yaman is reported to have said, "I prayed with the Prophet, upon whom be peace, one night, and he
started reading al-Baqarah. I said to myself, 'He will bow after one hundred verses,' but he continued. Then I said, 'He will
complete it and bow,' but he moved to recite very slowly al 'Imran and then an-Nisa'. When he came to a verse glorifying
Allah, he would glorify Him. If he came to a verse that mentioned a request, he would request it. If he came to something that
(one should) seek refuge from, he would seek refuge." This was related by Muslim. Among the Shafiyyah, the glorifying,
requesting and seeking refuge should be done during the prayer and at other times. The imam, followers and one praying by
himself should all do so, for they are supplications that one should say, like 'ameen. It is preferred that when reading, "Is not
Allah the most conclusive of all judges?" / at-Tin:8 / one should say, "Certainly, and I am one of the witnesses to that. When
one reads, "Is not He (who does so) able to bring the dead to life? / al-Qiyamah:40 /, he should say, "Certainly, and I bear
witness (to it)." When one reads, "Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High," ( al-A'la: 1 ), he should say, "Glory to my
Lord, the Most High." That should be said during prayer and otherwise.
