Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: What is the ruling on listening to the Qur'an recited in the manner known as maqamat?

It is not permissible to use maqamat. Maqamat are Sufi songs. Recite the Qur'an in accordance with the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and the pious predecessors. Do not recite it in the manner of these maqamat; this is part of Sufism. Yes.
