The ruling on laughing at children’s recitation of a verse with an incorrect pronunciation without intent

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. In her final question, she says: Honorable Shaykh, when we teach young children the prescribed adhkar and Qur’anic verses, they pronounce the words with an incorrect and amusing pronunciation, and we laugh involuntarily. Is there a sin on us for that?

Answer:
There is no sin on you for that, because you did not intend to laugh at this matter; rather, it happened without intent. However, you must correct this teacher’s recitation, teach them the correct recitation, and do not laugh when he makes a mistake or when he fails to connect the words of the Qur’an. Avoid laughing. But if you laugh without intent or choice, there is no blame on you for that. Yes.
