Question:-
Many parents nowadays play verses of the Quraan and Manzil as Ruqya on their phones for their babies. Will this give the desired effect or not?
Answer:-
The desired effect will only be found when one recites the Manzil or verses of the Quraan Sharif in person. The playing of a recording is not considered as recitation. Therefore, if a verse of Sajdah is played on a recording, then Sajdah-e-Tilaawat does not become obligatory on the listener. In conclusion, one should recite the verses to derive benefit from them.
