I have many audio clips of Qur'an recitation in my phone; is it permissible to delete them?
1 Answer
Electronic copies of the Quran doesn't come under the same ruling as mushafs. Because writing Quran on the mobile phone or computers is not like writing it in a Mushaf. Electronic texts are not permanent, they appear when you open the app or the file containing the Quran and disappear when you close it. The specific instructions prescribed for destroying a mushaf don't apply to them.
So, it is permissible to delete them.
