The questioner:
A questioner says: What is the ruling, Honorable Shaykh, on reciting du'a' slowly in tarawih prayer?
The Shaykh:
Recitation applies to the Qur'an, the speech of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and one should recite the Qur'an with proper recitation. As for supplications and the speech of people, they are not recited in this manner.
The questioner:
He also asks: What is the ruling on reciting texts and Friday sermons with proper recitation?
The Shaykh:
Reciting what?
The questioner:
The texts, the texts of knowledge, the texts
The Shaykh:
As for the texts, if he beautifies his voice for supplication and beautifies his voice for the texts of knowledge, there is no harm in that. This is not called tartil; this is called good delivery and a beautiful voice. It is not called tartil. Tartil is what is done according to the rules of tajwid and recitation of the Qur'an. As for beautifying one's voice in reading a book or in supplication, there is no objection to that. This is not called composition. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. And he asks about the recitation of Friday sermons.
The Shaykh:
Likewise, beautifying the voice for it and for good delivery is undoubtedly good and attracts the listeners. But it is not called composition. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
