Question:
Can I recite the Qur’an from my phone during prayer?
Answer:
Wa ‘alaykum assalam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.
I pray you are well.
Reading the Qur’an from your phone would invalidate the prayer in the Hanafi school. You should learn some Qur’an. That is better for you in the long term. [Shurunbulali, Nur al-Idah]
Initially, all you need to know is one verse from the Fatiha. This can be learned in a few minutes. Then work up to learning the entire Fatiha.
One you know it, learn three short verses, such as the first three of Sura al-Rahman [Qur’an, 55:1-3] They contain familiar words and can be learned easily in one sitting. This amount is sufficient for the prayer.

Get a friend to help. It might be a struggle, but those who struggle for Allah are guided to the ways that lead to a closeness to Him. It is worth it.
May Allah make us of the People of the Qur’an.
