Woman's arm being uncovered while reciting the Quraan Majeed
Question
1. Is it permissible for a woman's arm to be uncovered during tilawat of the Quraan. (This is with a physical copy of the Quraan, not from memory)
2. if a person is making tilawat using the app on their phone, can they read whilst leaning against something, or laying down?
I learned that our arms should be covered till our wrists as it is part of our satr, and one should sit in a respectful manner when one is making tilawat of the Quraan shareef.
Answer
1. It is alright as long as it is not in the presence of ghayr mahrams.
2. We totally discourage recitation from the phone.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
