Does one sin if he memorizes a surah and then forgets it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Honorable Shaykh, we see some young people who memorize a surah and then forget it. Do they sin on the Day of Resurrection or not?

Answer : If he abandoned it, he is to be feared of sin. But if it was ordinary forgetfulness, as people forget things, there is no blame on them.
