Reading books and sermons in a melodic voice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a woman says that some Muslims recite in a melodic manner, as some scholars do when they read books. If this is permissible, is there evidence for its permissibility?
Answer:
A melodic recitation is not permissible; this is singing. Reciting in a melodic tone is singing. However, if one reads with a good, pleasant voice, and this is not called melodic recitation, but rather reads with a good voice and clear language, this is not called melodic recitation, but is called improving the voice. There is no harm in that. He reads the books and the sermons and the exhortations with a good voice and a good delivery that affects people. Yes.
