The Punishment for One Who Memorizes the Qur'an and Then Forgets It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is there a punishment for one who memorizes the Qur'an and then forgets it afterward?

Answer:
There is no barrier to a punishment, but the forgetting may be caused by something beyond his control, such as an illness or something that afflicted him without his choice.
