Is it permissible to recite the Qur'an in groups?

Question:
The questioner says: In our country, learning the Qur'an is done through group recitation, meaning the teacher requires the student to recite the Qur'an with him under the pretext of review. What is the ruling on this type of recitation, given that learning by any other method is not possible?

Answer:
There is no harm in group recitation for the purpose of learning; there is no harm in that. However, group recitation for the purpose of recitation (tala) is not permissible. Recitation for the sake of recitation must not be done in groups; each person should recite for himself. But group recitation for learning is acceptable because it is difficult for the teacher to teach each student individually. He teaches the group, instructs them on the verse, and they pronounce it together. There is no harm in this, because it facilitates the teacher’s instruction of the students, and it is cooperation in learning the Qur'an. Yes.
