Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the practice of some preachers of reciting verses with tartil in the Friday sermon, as they do in prayer, valid?
Answer:
There is no basis for this; it is an innovation. If you bring the Qur'an for recitation, you recite it with tartil, but if you bring it for citing evidence and argument, it does not require tartil. This also burdens the people, as you recite every verse with tartil, which is a burden on the people. So citing evidence is not the same as recitation. Yes.
