Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who tests some people or examines them in their memorization by altering a verse so that the reciter corrects it?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible. It is not permissible for him to alter the verse in order to have it corrected. This is a distortion of the words of Allah and a desecration of the words of Allah the Exalted. This is not permissible. Yes.
