Hukum memasang aplikasi al-Quran dalam telefon bimbit
What is the ruling on installing a Quran application on a mobile phone?
Short answer

Summary
The fatwa distinguishes two situations. A Quran application that displays the verses and provides recitation by a reciter is considered good and a convenient means of drawing closer to the Quran. Using Quranic verses as a ringtone or caller ringtone is stated to be not permitted, because the recitation would be left incomplete and the tone might sound in a toilet, which would amount to disrespect towards the Quran.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Aplikasi al-Quran yang menyediakan paparan ayat dan boleh didengar bacaan qari. Ini baik dan suatu bentuk kemudahan bagi kita untuk mendekatkan diri dengan al-Quran.
