Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who recites some of the scientific books other than the Noble Qur'an with recitation (tartil)?
Answer:
It is not befitting for him to do so. One should not liken the speech of people to the speech of the Lord, Exalted and Majestic is He. Recitation (tartil) and attention to the rules of recitation (tajwid) are for the speech of Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He. As for reading hadiths and the words of the scholars, it is an ordinary reading, a clear reading, not in the manner of reading the Qur'an. Yes.
