Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. He says: What is meant by singing with the Qur'an? And if the imam is in the Tarawih prayer, how much does he recite in the Tarawih prayer?
Answer:
Singing with the Qur'an means beautifying the voice with the Qur'an. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 1469Sahih (Al-Albani) It is not meant by this to make the Qur'an like songs. This is forbidden and not permissible. So what is meant by singing is beautifying the voice. And this is recommended in the recitation of the Qur'an.
As for the amount the imam recites in the Tarawih prayer, this has no limit, but he should make it light for the ma'mum (those praying behind him); he should not lengthen it to the point where it becomes difficult for them, nor should he shorten it to the point where they cannot complete the prayer behind him. He should recite whatever is easy for him, and the moderate approach is to recite one page of the Qur'an in every rak'ah in order to complete the recitation of the Qur'an by the end of the month. Yes.

He who does not chant the Qur'an is not one of us.
