Exaggeration in Tajwid and Pausing in Recitation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and may He bless you. Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for the imam to recite in a place where pausing is not allowed, without intending to, due to the need for correction? And may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, this is an observation, because exaggeration in tajwid and overdoing it forces the imam or the reciter to break up the verses and pause at places other than the proper stopping points, and then repeat them a second time. This becomes difficult for himself and for the congregation. What is required is to take the middle path in recitation and not pause except at the proper stopping points. Adhering to the rules of recitation and pausing at the proper stopping points is more emphasized than adhering to the rules of exaggerated tajwid. Yes.
