It is not an offence, and is in fact permitted, not to listen to the recitation being played when one is occupied with work.

Summary
It is not an offence, and is in fact permitted, not to listen to the recitation being played when one is occupied with work. The shop should not be excessively noisy and busy like a market, so that the recitation is kept free from idle talk. Etiquette should still be observed, such as not raising the voice without urgent need while serving customers and returning to listen once the task is finished.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
dapat disimpulkan bahawa tidak menjadi satu kesalahan malah dibenarkan untuk tidak mendengar bacaan al-Quran yang dipasangnya disebabkan kesibukan dalam pekerjaan.
