The Ruling on Continuing to Recite the Quran During the Call to Prayer

Question
Is it permissible to continue reading the Quran during the call to prayer, and if we are listening to the Quran from a recording, should it be turned off during the call to prayer?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is recommended to listen to the call to prayer and to repeat it along with what is legally prescribed. It is preferable to listen to the call to prayer and to stop reading the Quran. The same ruling applies to listening to the Quran from a recording. And God knows best.
