The Meaning of Reciting the Qur'an with Melody and Reading It in Musical Modes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people cite the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he said:Riyad as-Salihin 1007. They claim to use this hadith as evidence for the permissibility of reciting the Qur'an in musical modes. They say that the word "recite with melody" (yutaghanni) used in the hadith is very broad.
Answer:
This is a false statement. "Recite with melody" means to beautify one's voice; to beautify one's voice with the Qur'an. It is not singing. It is beautifying one's voice with the Qur'an. As for the modes, these are modes of singing songs. It is not permissible to use them for the Qur'an, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
