Question:
In her final question, the sender, Ahmad al-Qarni, asks: Does one sin if he memorizes some of the surahs of the Qur'an and then forgets them?
Answer:
He does not sin for that, because forgetfulness is something that befalls people, so he does not sin for it unless this forgetfulness is due to neglect and lack of care, in which case he does sin for it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged reviewing the Qur'an and reciting it frequently so that it does not slip away and be lost. Yes.
