He has a heaviness in his tongue that conceals some of the letters of the Qur'an

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. A message was sent from Yemen by a listener there. He says: Your brother in Allah, Hamid Salim from Yemen, asks and says: There is a young man there who has a heaviness in his tongue; when he reads the Noble Qur'an, some words disappear or are barely understood. Is he sinful in the state described?

Answer:
He is not sinful if this is beyond his control. If this is beyond his control due to a defect in his tongue, then he is not sinful. Rather, the sin is upon the one who is able to articulate the letters and produce them. It is obligatory for him to read the Qur'an in a suitable manner, to read it well while producing the letters, following the rules of tajwid (the rules of Qur'anic recitation) and good delivery, as much as possible and as much as he is able. He should beautify his voice, because the Qur'an is the speech of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and attention must be paid to it, especially in mastering the recitation, not dropping any of the letters, and not making errors in the Qur'an, especially errors that change the meaning. It is obligatory for the Muslim to learn the correct recitation as much as he is able. However, if there is a defect in his tongue that prevents him from articulating some of the letters, then Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says: . Yes.
