Guidance for one who recites the Qur'an in an incorrect manner

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a man recites the Qur'an, but in an incorrect manner. I corrected him more than once. So what do you advise us to do, given the situation described? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
Allah the Exalted said:
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[At-Taghabun 64:16]
So he should recite the Qur'an according to his ability, even if it is by spelling out the letters. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
One who is proficient in the Qur'an is associated with the noble, upright, recording angels; and he who falters in it, and finds it difficult for him, will have two rewards.الماهر بالقرآن مع السفرة الكرام البررة والذي يقرأ القرآن ويتتعتع فيه وهو عليه شاق له أجران
Sahih Muslim 798a
This means the reward for the recitation and the reward for the effort, so he should not abandon reciting the Qur'an.
