Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: I heard that a person with hypocrisy in him cannot memorize Surat al-Bayyinah. Is there a basis for this statement in the Shari'ah?
Answer:
By Allah, I have not heard this. I have not heard this. The hypocrite reads the Qur'an. The hypocrite reads the Qur'an and memorizes it. He may even recite it with better arrangement. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.

ومثل المنافق الذي يقرأ القرآن كمثل الريحان فيه فوائ طيب وطعمه مر.
