Memorizing the Qur'an Without a Teacher
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The fourth question from fatwa number ( 19282 )
Q 4: One of the professors advised me not to delve into memorizing the Book of Allah without a shaykh ; lest something happen that is not praiseworthy. Is this correct?
A 4 : It is good to learn the recitation of the Qur'an from a reciter who is proficient in recitation, if that is possible. If it is not possible, then you should try to read the Qur'an according to your ability; due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:286] , and due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 798a . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
لاَ يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلا وُسْعَهَاand he who falters in it, and finds it difficult for him, will have two rewards.
والذي يقرأ القرآن ويتتعتع فيه وهو عليه شاق له أجران
