Memorizing the Qur'an by Listening to Tapes

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Libya says that she loves to read the Qur'an a lot and hopes to memorize it. She asks if it is permissible for her to memorize it by listening to tapes, meaning without a teacher.

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, but memorizing the Qur'an from a female teacher who is proficient in the Qur'an is undoubtedly better and more excellent. This is because some readers recite with other recitations other than the recitation of Hafs, which might be difficult for her, and it is not the recitation used in her country. So she should read with the recitation used in her country from the seven recitations. So she should seek out an excellent school and memorize the Qur'an there. Yes.
