Is Ibn al-Qayyim’s statement correct that reciting the Qur’an with tajwid is a whisper from Satan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In his final question, he asks: Is it true, as Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) says in his book *Ighathat al-Lahfan min Masayid al-Shaytan* (The Relief of the Distressed from the Snare of Satan), that the one who recites the Qur’an with the rules of tajwid is being whispered to by Satan?

Answer:
Yes, the exaggeration in that. The exaggeration: Ibn al-Qayyim means the reciters who exaggerate in the articulation points of the letters, the nasalization, and the elongations. So this exaggeration is prohibited. As for moderation in the rules of tajwid, that is something required, because it is part of perfecting the recitation. Be moderate in this. Yes.
