Q. Is it permissible to look and read from the Qur’aan in Salaah?
A: It is not permissible to look and read from the Qur’aan in Salaah, immaterial whether the Qur’aan is in the hands of the Musalli or kept on a stand, etc. in front of him. The Salaah will break if one reads from the Qur’aan in Salaah. (Raddul Muhtaar V4 P452)
