Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A man recites the Qur'an, but, Shaykh, in an incorrect manner. I have corrected him more than once, so what do you advise us to do in this situation? May Allah reward you with good. Should we advise him to continue reading?

Answer:
First, if he is able to learn and has someone to teach him, it is obligatory for him to do so in order to correct his recitation in the proper manner. As for if he is unable to learn, he should read according to his ability, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
The one who is proficient with the Qur'an will be with the noble and righteous scribes (the angels)الماهر بالقرآن مع السفرة الكرام البررة.
Sunan Ibn Majah 3779Sahih (Darussalam)
and he who falters in it, and finds it difficult for him, will have two rewards.والذي يقرأ القرآن ويتتعتع فيه وهو عليه شاق له أجران.
Sahih Muslim 798a
Yes.
