Question

2. can the knees be above the Quran level? jazakallah

Answer

One should sit in a respectful manner on the ground. It is best to place the Qur'aan on a low table. If this is not available, hold the Qur'aan in one's hands. It is against etiquette to place it on one's lap.

If the Qur'aan is on a low table, then there is no harm if the knees are slightly higher than the Qur'aan.
