The Ruling on Tajwid in Reciting the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person asks and says: Is tajwid (the rules of Qur'anic recitation) part of the rules for reading the Qur'an? And if I do not recite with tajwid and read in a normal way, is that permissible?
Answer:
Tajwid is merely a complement. It is obligatory to read the Qur'an in a manner free from grammatical errors, connecting it in terms of the grammar and the language in which it was revealed. As for tajwid, it is among the complements; if it is achieved, that is good, and if it is not achieved, it is not required. However, exaggeration in the path of tajwid and exaggeration in the recitation and singing, this is an excess and an addition. It is obligatory to maintain moderation in what beautifies and improves the recitation without going so far as to add diacritical marks or resemble singing.
