The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an with Tajwid

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about. About reciting the Qur'an with tajwid.

Answer:
Reciting the Qur'an with tajwid is required, but it is not obligatory. What is obligatory is that a person does not make grammatical errors in the Qur'an; he must recite it correctly according to the Arabic language in which it was revealed. He must not raise the nominative case or lower the accusative case. Rather, he must recite with proper inflection. Inflected in the Arabic tongue. This is what is obligatory.
As for tajwid, this is among the improvements. If it is achieved, it is good and fine, and if it is not achieved, it is not necessary. Tajwid is an improvement for recitation, but without exaggeration, because some people exaggerate in the elongation (madd) and exaggerate in the nasalization (ghunnah), and some even take the recitation to the point of melodies and singing. This is not permissible. It was reported in the hadith that
A group of people in the last of timeأقوام في آخر الزمان
Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 29:84
and the best of matters is the middle path. One does not abandon tajwid, nor does one exaggerate, but rather takes the middle path. This is what is required. The obligatory thing is not to make grammatical errors in the Qur'an, not to raise the nominative case or make the nominative case accusative. This is the obligatory thing that is necessary.
