I sit in mosque after salah to read Qur’an. While sitting on either a chair or on the floor, I keep the Qur’an on my lap. Sometimes people object and say: 1) I should not sit behind any person while reciting Qur’an as it faces the back of the person and it is against etiquette. 2) I should not keep the Qur’an on my lap instead hold it high or place it on a Qur’an holder. Please advise.

This is an innovation. If the owner recites suratul Baqarah to prevent Satan from entering the house, this is permissible. Having people do that in congregation or each one reading a portion of the Quran, this is an innovation.
