QUESTION:

Since I was a child I have been taught that I should observe some 
form of hijab when reciting qur'an.  However, there are many surahs 
and du'aas that I recite whilst falling asleep, it is illogical to 
wear hijab in bed, what is the solution in this case?


ANSWER:

Hijab is not Wajib for the recitation of the Holy Quran. The covering of
the head during recitation is a cultural expression of respect for the Holy
Book.
