Is it permissible to read the Quran from the Mushaf during prayer in order to complete a monthly recitation?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to read from the Mus'haf (physical copy of the Quran) in supererogatory (nafila) prayers without restriction. However, regarding obligatory (fard) prayers, its permissibility is a point of dispute among scholars, and it is better to avoid it to steer clear of disagreement. A Muslim should strive to read the Quran and dedicate a specific time for it outside of prayer.
