The Difference Between the Recitation of Warsh and the Recitation of Hafs

Question:
After this, a message was received by the program from one of the sisters. She says: Your sister, Sin Mim Hasan, from Alexandria in the Arab Republic of Egypt. Our sister has three issues. The first issue, she says: What is the difference?

Answer:
What is the difference between the recitation of Warsh from Nafi’ al-Madani and the recitation of Hafs from Asim? These are two recitations: the recitation of Hafs and the recitation of Warsh. Nafi’ al-Madani [is the source for both]. These are two recitations. Where is the difference? There is some difference in the manner of recitation, just as there is a difference among the other recitations, the seven recitations and the ten recitations. They may all differ in the characteristics of the recitation, but they are all in accordance with the Uthmanic script, the script of the Uthmanic mushaf. So this difference does no harm, and praise be to Allah, because it is all within and in accordance with the mushaf of the Imam. May Allah reward you.
