What is the proper way of reading Quran..?

Question

AssalaamOalaikum! What is the proper way of reading Quran..? Can one read the Quran without having the Zudhu'h ? How shall we sit, and positioning towards the Kaba'h, what kinds of clothes we should wear, should we cover our heads with the Ku'fi..?, and the time of the day/night? Thanks!

Answer

There is no need to have wudhu to merely recite the
Quran without touching it. If one whishes to recite
the Quran by also holding it, then wudhu in necessary.
There is no specific direction to face while reciting
the Quran. However it is advisable to face the Qibla
while reciting the Quran. In principal when one
engages himself in any form of ibaddah (at any time
day or night)it is advisable to dress respectfully.
That includes wearing a topee (head cap).

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
