The Meaning of Tartil in Reciting the Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is a point regarding tartil: Is tartil obligatory, or do I recite it as I used to?

Answer:
By tartil, we mean recitation with proper tajwid (rules of Qur'anic recitation) that involves neither exaggeration nor overemphasis on the rules of tajwid. It is moderate recitation, between excessive elongation and harsh, rapid recitation, and between hasty, slurred recitation. One should be moderate in reciting the Qur'an; this is the tartil that is required. Yes.
