The Ruling on Praying Behind One Who Recites the Qur'an with Melodies and the Meaning of Adorning the Qur'an with the Voice

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to pray behind one who recites with melodies? And what did the Salaf mean by adorning the Qur'an with the voice?

Answer:
Making the Qur'an like songs, stretching it out and prolonging it the way melodies or singing are done, is forbidden and not permissible. As for adorning the Qur'an with the voice, its meaning is not singing; adorning the Qur'an with the voice means beautifying the voice. Beautifying the voice with the Qur'an is what is meant by adorning the Qur'an with the voice. Yes.
