Question:
What is the ruling on imitating reciters?
Answer:
Imitating reciters, if it is for the sake of perfecting the recitation and mastering the recitation, then that is good. But if it is merely for the sake of the voice, the Muslim should not strain himself to imitate so-and-so or so-and-so. Rather, he should recite with the voice that Allah has given him and improve his voice. He improves his voice and adorns his voice with the Qur'an, and he does not imitate so-and-so or so-and-so except in tajwid (the rules of Qur'anic recitation) and mastering the Qur'an.
