The ruling on reciting the Qur'an with vocal modes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an with vocal modes, in terms of improving the recitation and altering it? And is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Abu Musa al-Ash'ari
Answer:
These modes have only been mentioned among the Sufis. They are not well known; these are terms of the Sufis. The Qur'an is recited as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions, and those who came after them, recited it. We do not adopt newly invented methods. Adopting newly invented methods is an innovation in the religion. The Qur'an has been made easy, praise be to Allah. Do not say something you cannot do. Recite with what you are able to do, and praise be to Allah for what He has given you of a good voice. Abu Musa, may Allah reward him, was given a good voice by Allah. So if Allah has given you a good voice, this is a blessing. Allahu Akbar.

Were you not given a flute among the flutes of the people of Paradise? And were you not made to recite with the modes?
