The ruling on switching between the recitations of Warsh and Hafs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Morocco, from Fez, says: If a person wants to recite according to the recitation of Warsh and then switch to the recitation of Hafs or any of the other seven recitations, is this permissible for him in prayer and outside of prayer?

Answer:
Outside of prayer, there is nothing wrong with it for the sake of learning, benefiting from these recitations, and preserving them so they are not forgotten. However, in prayer, it must be with a single recitation only. It should be the recitation known in the country, the one practiced in the country. One should not use another recitation that is not practiced in that country, as it would cause confusion for the people. Yes.
