Question

Can I Hold the Quran and Recite from It While in Prayer?

Suppose we don’t have the entire Quran memorized and wish to pray with verses we don’t know by heart, especially during Ramadan. In that case, Shaykh Irshaad will clarify if praying with the Quran in hand is an acceptable solution.
