The presenter:
The last caller is Abu Shadi. Go ahead, Abu Shadi.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you.
The presenter:
And upon you be peace.
The questioner:
My brother in Allah, I swear by Allah, I read the Noble Qur'an, but I do not know how to write. I read the Qur'an from memory; I read it and I cut off the lines, I do not know them. Is this permissible, or is it not permissible?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
The Qur'an. I recite it, and I do not know how to write, nor do I know anything else; I recite it as a hobby, so to speak. Now, regarding Corona, may Allah reward the people with good, I have not finished yet; one day out of three days has passed, and I finished the support after the pre-dawn meal, though I do not know much about it.
The Shaykh:
Thank you, what is the answer to the third question?
The questioner:
I read what I know, I read whatever I can.
The Shaykh:
Yes, there is no harm in reading from memory. If something is difficult for you, ask the reciters and request that they correct your recitation in the correct manner.
The presenter:
Yes. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and may He benefit Islam and the Muslims through you.
