Idgham and Ikhfa in Recitation and Exertion in Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I heard that Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said that idgham and ikhfa are considered a deficiency in the words of the Qur'an, and that they are not permissible. Is what is reported from him correct?
Answer:
I do not know what you read. Yes, but he dislikes exertion in recitation. All scholars dislike exertion in tajwid, exertion in recitation, and in the points of articulation. They make the Qur'an difficult for people, whereas Allah has made it easy for them. Yes.
