The questioner:
The sender, B-M from Dammam, asks: What is the ruling on reciting and memorizing the Noble Qur'an without fully mastering the rules of tajwid (the rules of Qur'anic recitation) and without beautiful tartil (measured recitation)? Does this fall under disobeying the command of Allah, the Exalted, in His saying:
The Shaykh:
The obligatory, the obligatory, is the i'rab (grammatical inflection) of the Qur'an, meaning to establish its recitation free from error and lahn (mispronunciation). One must not raise the mansub (accusative), nor make the marfu' (nominative) accusative, nor raise the makhfud or majrur (genitive). Rather, one must pronounce the words in accordance with the grammatical rules. This is what is required. Yes, the i'rab of the Qur'an and avoiding lahn in it. Lahn is of two types: lahn that changes the meaning, and lahn that does not change the meaning. Both must be corrected. It is obligatory, and it is obligatory, to learn the Qur'an in the correct manner. As for reciting the Qur'an with tajwid and beautifying the voice, this is among the complements and recommended practices, and it is not among the obligations. It is not obligatory for a person to learn the rules of tajwid; rather, this is in the category of completions, complements, and beautifiers of the recitation. Yes.
The presenter:
And if some scholars of tajwid say that this is transmitted from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with the four, six, and six movements.
The Shaykh:
From the Prophet, these rules of the four madud (vowel lengths) and I do not know how, and idgham with ghunnah (nasalization). Rather, these are beautifiers that they derived from the words of the Qur'an. So they are derived rules, not transmitted from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The presenter:
(peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh:
From the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: meaning he beautifies his voice with the Qur'an. And he said: "Adorn the Qur'an with your voices." This is required: a beautiful voice. And (peace and blessings be upon him) listened to Abu Musa al-Ash'ari for the beauty of his voice and his recitation. He listened to Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). So there is no doubt that beautifying the voice, perfecting the recitation, and tajwid are required matters, but they are not obligatory. What is obligatory is protecting the Qur'an from lahn, changing the grammatical vowel movements. This is what is required.
