The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some preachers recite verses with melodic intonation and change their voices while doing so during the sermon. Is this action prescribed?

The Shaykh:
There is a difference between reciting a verse for the purpose of citing it as evidence and reciting it for the purpose of recitation. The one who recites it for recitation recites it with melodic intonation. The one who recites it for the purpose of citing it as evidence does not need to arrange it with melodic intonation. Because this takes time from the people. And they may not pay attention to the purpose of bringing the verse, thinking it is only recitation. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the recitation of the surah

The Shaykh:
Reciting the Qur'an is of two types: recitation for the purpose of recitation, which is recited with melodic intonation, or recitation for the purpose of citing it as evidence, which does not require melodic intonation.
