Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he asks: Is the intended meaning of the statement of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, “And recite the Qur'an with measured recitation” specific to the prayer and the night prayer, or is it general for every recitation, whether in prayer or otherwise?
Answer:
It is general. This is general for the recitation of the Qur'an in prayer and otherwise. One recites the Qur'an without rushing or rushing, just as one does not drag out and lengthen the recitation as the pretentious people do now, and those who claim tajwid. What is this? This is tajwid. What is this? This is tajwid. This resembles what is done in songs. Yes.
