Qur'an

Q: Can I read Quraan while lying in bed? I am not ill.

Q: Were all 7 Ahruf (without exception) and all The Mutawaatir & Mashhur Qira’aat (without exception) revealed by Allah Ta'ala to Jibril (alaihis salaam) who delivered the Revelation to Sayyidunaa Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and Allah Ta'ala revealed it to Sayyidunaa Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and Jibril (alaihis salaam)?

Q: Is the recitation of Surah Muzzammil for difficulty and hardship authentic? I read that it can be recited 41 times.

Also, what are the virtues of reciting Surah Yaseen 41 times for a task?

Which one of the two is more preferable?

Q: My husband and I have been blessed with a baby alhamdulillah. We would like the baby to have finished memorising the Quraan by an early age if Allah wills.

What steps can we take to ensure that the child can begin learning and memorising from an early age? What brain foods would also be good for the child and mother as I’m nursing currently.

Q: I am a student of knowledge who studies in South Africa. Often, when I arrive at the airport after a long flight, the need arises to use the toilet. My carry on bag etc. contains Quraan and other books as well and its not safe to leave the bags outside the bathroom. Am I allowed to bring it into the toilet?

Q: Is there anything special to read after each surah, when making a khatam, when one comes to surah Duha?

Q: I have some questions about stop signs in the Quraan.

1. If لا comes at the end of an aayat, can I stop?

2. Will it permissible to not stop at ط and ج signs?

3. Will it be permissible to not stop at ق and قف signs?

Q: I teach kids Maktab and they have Amma Para Kitaabs. When I have my Haidh am I allowed to touch the Kitaabs? Is it okay to touch the edges/white parts of the page where there aren’t any words, or is it the same as Qur’aan – Am I not allowed to touch it at all?

Q: Could Mufti Saheb please explain to me the actual meaning that we take from the ayat which means: "No bearer shall bear the burden of another".

The reason I ask is because I heard an Aalim say that we think that our aamaal only affect us but it's not right because when Nabi e Kareem صلى الله عليه وسلم went for Mi'raaj than it was seen that all aamaal of the people was going up and conditions according to it go down upon the people. Meaning, because of our aamaal, people in Syria are under distress but wouldn't that contradict the Ayat.

From what I understand, is that the aamaal go up and according to one's own aamaal a person will get benefit or harm no matter what the condition. Is this the right understanding and if it is, should I in a way of extreme hikmat explain to the Aaalim who is my dear Ustaad?

Q: My in laws have a culture of performing Quraan khatam once a year for the deceased by having someone or a group reading Quraan and send esaale sawaab to the deceased father or Muslim family members. There is also intermingling of opposite sexes at the event. Cooking etc. and feeding the guests.

My question is, are all those efforts counted in the court of Allah, such as Quran tilwawat, dua for the deceased etc., whilst there is no pardah between the opposite sexes, intermingling etc. at those gatherings?
