A:
There is no offense in
listening to the news or reading the newspapers at certain times instead of listening to the Holy Qur’an Radio, as everything has its due time. Listening to the news and the like is not judged to be a form of abandoning the Qur’an as long as one dedicates other times to reciting or listening to the Qur’an. (Part No. 4; Page No. 103) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
