Is it permissible to pray behind someone who recites the Qur'an with musical modes?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for us to pray behind someone who recites the Qur'an beautifully and improves his voice using what is called maqamat (musical modes)?

Answer:
It is not permissible. The maqamat are the conventions of singers, so it is not permissible to turn the Qur'an into songs and the rules of singing. This is haram (forbidden) and not permissible. If he does this and you are certain of it, do not pray behind him. But after you advise him, if you have advised him and he does not abandon this, then do not pray behind him. Yes.
