The ruling on a memorizer forgetting the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who memorized the Qur'an and then forgot it, either because of sins or because of preoccupation with worldly affairs?
Answer:
It is a blessing that has been removed from him, but it is not forbidden in the sense that this act is haram; forgetting is not by his choice. However, this blessing was removed because of his negligence and neglect, so he must make up for it, review the Qur'an, and preserve it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
