The Multiplicity of Qur'anic Recitations and Their Transmission from the Companions

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: Regarding the multiplicity of recitations in the Noble Qur'an, is there anything transmitted from the Companions on this matter?

Answer:
The authentic recitations are transmitted from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), narrated through authentic chains of narration from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). However, if a country relies on the recitation of one of the well-known reciters, one should not confuse the people by introducing another recitation in the mosques or in the prayer. For example, the imam should not recite with other recitations different from what the people of the country recite.
If the people of the country, for example, recite with the recitation of Hafs, let them stick to it and not confuse the people. It is permissible for him to learn the recitations for himself and recite with them outside of the congregational prayer. All of them—the ten or seven authentic recitations—are established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
