Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the Friday khutbah, is it prescribed for the khatib, when he cites verses as evidence, to recite these verses with tartil and beautify his voice in the recitation? No.

Answer:
No. Recitation is not the same as citing evidence. When mentioning verses for the purpose of citing evidence, one does not engage in excessive tartil or drawn-out notes. However, if he mentions them for the purpose of recitation, he recites them with tartil. He may use excessive tartil, drawn-out notes, and nasal resonance, and I do not know how else to describe it. That is, a light recitation for the listeners. Yes.
