Qur'an

Clean shaven Qaaris

Q: The norm today is to employ famous clean shaven Qaaris to entertain the crowds. Some Ulamaa say the idea is to promote and encourage the youth to learn and recite the Quraan. Is it permissible?

Is it permissible to allow photo's and videos to be taken in the Masjid while the Qaari is reciting. Shouldn't this entertainment be conducted at other venues and not in the Masaajid. This will prevent disrespecting the sanctity of the Masjid.

Listening to tilaawat on one's headphones when music is being played in a gym

Q: If music is being played somewhere and a person doesn't want to listen to the music and he plays tilawat in his headphones to avoid the sound of the music, is it a correct thing if he has no authority to stop that music?

I go to the gym and they play music there. So I listen to tilawat in a loud voice in my headphones to avoid the music. Is it a correct thing ?
