Question:
What is the ruling on one who reads and memorizes the Qur'an without the rules of tajwid? Does he commit a sin?
Answer:
It is not obligatory. What is required in memorizing the Qur'an is to recite it correctly, avoiding the type of lahn (mispronunciation) that alters the grammatical case, such as not raising the nominative, not making the accusative accusative, or not making the genitive genitive. This is a lahn that is not permissible, and it is what the Muslim must learn so that he is safe from it. As for the rules of tajwid, these are recommended and supplementary. If they are present, they are an increase in good; if they are not present, and he recites well without committing lahn, that is sufficient.
