The Ruling on Denying Tajwid and the Recitations, and Clarifying the Basmalah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Some people reach the stage of denying tajwid or the recitations, thinking that they have specialized in hadith. Some of them deny the recitations and deny tajwid, even though they are mentioned in the hadith. Is that so?
The Shaykh:
This is an error, but some people send it and consider it obligatory, viewing it from the perspective of improving the recitation.
The questioner:
He says you find it.
The Shaykh:
So, emphasizing the emphatic letters, lightening the light letters, and the elongations and pauses, all of these are part of improving the recitation. However, asserting that this is obligatory is an error. It is not an error, the important thing is that he reads as it was revealed, that he reads the Qur'an in the Arabic language without distorting the meaning. As for him improving his voice, adorning his voice, emphasizing the emphatic letters, lightening the light letters, and merging the merged letters, I believe this is part of perfection.
The questioner:
Imam Ahmad [recommended] the recitation of Hamzah in the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh:
These have reasons. The reason for al-Kisa'i's [recitation] has reasons that they explained. Because of the long duration. I say it has reasons that the scholars explained. The apparent [view].
The questioner:
Because of the imalah.
The Shaykh:
It is necessary to evaluate it, and you do not remember the animal, may Allah will its reasons, and in the insistence of al-Kamil for Abu 'Amr, in the capable souls of al-Kisa'i, what he needed to review the reasons that he taught, may Allah have mercy on him, we desire.
The questioner:
We desired with the imalah. It can be strong.
The Shaykh:
And they are with the people, there is a consideration regarding the imalah, not having the imalah is more complete and better, the recitation with what includes imalah is more complete and better, a separate verse.
The questioner:
Separate between the surahs.
The Shaykh:
From Surat al-Naml.
The questioner:
And is there a correct text regarding that?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing beyond that.
The questioner:
That it is a verse between.
The Shaykh:
Except that it was known to distinguish between the two surahs by its revelation, that the surah was completed and the first surah came.
The questioner:
But there is, may Allah reward you, a recitation for Hamzah.
The Shaykh:
And it indicates that it is not from al-Fatihah, and not from the surahs that it is not from what he used to recite with, he would raise his voice with "Alhamdulillah Rabb al-'Alamin" and the other surahs, and if it were from them he would have raised his voice with it along with them, so when he raised his voice with al-Fatihah "Alhamdulillah Rabb al-'Alamin" and lowered his voice with the Basmalah and the seeking of refuge, it indicated that it is not from them.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, is it reported by tawatur from Hamzah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he does not recite the Basmalah between the two surahs?
The Shaykh:
This is an error, this is among the errors. Yes.
The questioner:
The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they say it is not a verse, when Jibril (peace be upon him) said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)[Al-'Alaq 96:1] meaning he said "I am not a reader"? He said "Read in the name of your Lord," he did not say "In the name of Allah."
The Shaykh:
Regarding the Basmalah as a separate verse, the Basmalah as a separate verse, and at the beginning of the surah "Read," and so on, al-Muddaththir and so on, and others.
The questioner:
But the disagreement in it, may Allah reward you, is that it is a verse and that it is not a verse?
The Shaykh:
A separate verse, the correct view.
Some people reach the stage of denying tajwid or the recitations, thinking that they have specialized in hadith. Some of them deny the recitations and deny tajwid, even though they are mentioned in the hadith.
So what is your Eminence's opinion regarding
