Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is one who falls into some sins or shortcoming while being a memorizer of the Qur'an considered to be neglecting it and not acting upon it?
Answer:
This constitutes a deficiency in him, and repentance to Allah the Exalted erases it. It is not a condition for the bearer of the Qur'an that he be perfect and free from sin. No, he makes mistakes and does things, but he repents to Allah, and Allah accepts the repentance of those who repent.
