Question : The ruling on reciting along with the reciter on the tape recorder, and does this contradict His saying, the Exalted: [Al-A'raf 7:204] meaning, the intention is memorization by following him for the sake of memorization.
Answer : No, I am asking you: is it for memorization or for benefiting from it? Tell me your ruling. For memorization, there is nothing wrong with it. For anything else, it is said that the best is to listen.
So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَAnswer : No, I am asking you: is it for memorization or for benefiting from it? Tell me your ruling. For memorization, there is nothing wrong with it. For anything else, it is said that the best is to listen.
