Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for a Muslim to read tafsir? And does he commit a sin if he reads the Qur'an without consulting any tafsir?

It is necessary to reflect. You must read the Qur'an in a way that requires understanding its meanings and tafsir so that you act upon it. Thus, you combine the recitation of the Qur'an with knowing its meanings and tafsir so that you benefit from it and act upon it. Yes.
