The Ruling on Learning Tajwid and Improving the Voice by Reciting Hadiths
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling on learning to recite the Qur'an according to the rules of tajwid? And what is the ruling on reciting hadiths?
The Shaykh:
What is its ruling?
The questioner:
He says, may Allah reward you: What is the ruling on learning to recite the Qur'an according to the rules of tajwid? And what is the ruling on reciting the Prophetic hadiths and poetic compositions with melodic intonation?
The Shaykh:
Yes. Reciting the Qur'an according to the rules of tajwid is permissible. Good. Because this is part of improving the recitation and ensuring its accuracy. The rules of tajwid are permissible. But one should not exaggerate in them. One should not exaggerate in the tajwid, the elongations (madd), the nasal resonance (ghunnah), the bouncing, or the chopping. Rather, one should be moderate, be moderate in the tajwid. One should not abandon tajwid entirely, nor should one exaggerate in it and strain oneself, but one should take the middle path; this is what is required. The rest of the question.
The questioner:
And he asks about putting melodic intonation on the Prophetic hadiths when reciting them, and on poetic compositions?
The Shaykh:
Improving the voice by reciting hadiths, good, there is nothing wrong with it, because this encourages people to listen, but not with a singing-like melody; rather, it is improving the voice in the recitation. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
