The questioner:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is your view on what the radio stations broadcast of Qur'an recitation by well-known reciters?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
He asks: What is your view on what the radio stations broadcast of Qur'an recitation by well-known reciters?
The Shaykh:
Do not rush the reading so that the words become clear. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you. What is your view on what the radio stations broadcast of Qur'an recitation by well-known reciters, which is characterized by slowness, exaggerated elongation, and recitation in the style of melodies? It is old and famous, and it is still being broadcast currently?
The Shaykh:
These recitations are not permissible, specifically those that deviate from the known rules of tajwid (rules of Qur'anic recitation) into exaggerated elongation, excessive lengthening, and excessive nasalization. These are not permissible because they are exaggerations that turn the Qur'an into melodies.
