Listening to Qur'an without wudhu
Question
I have a few Surahs recorded on my cell phone and I have kind of developed a habit of listening to it when I go to bed at night. Is it okay and is wudhu compulsory? Please advise.
Answer
Yes, wudhu is not compulsory.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
