The Ruling on Tajwid of the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Regarding tajwid, the tajwid of the Qur'an, is reciting in this manner obligatory?
The Shaykh:
Exaggeration in tajwid is not what is befitting, but moderate tajwid is fine. The most important thing is the tajwid of the Qur'an from the perspective of lahn (mispronunciation), meaning its correction through i'rab (grammatical inflection) so that one does not raise the nominative case or put the genitive case in the accusative. This is the obligatory tajwid. This is obligatory from the perspective of grammar. As for its tajwid in terms of recitation, that is with moderation, meaning one takes from the rules of tajwid with moderation and does not exaggerate. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Tajwid in this regard is like salt; if you use too much of it, it ruins the food, but if you take it in moderation, it becomes good. Yes.
