The Shaykh : Then he saidThe questioner : What is your opinion of the recitation performed by 'Abd al-Basit and those like him? Does it contain anything that contradicts the Shari'ah?
Answer: What I believe is that 'Abd al-Basit has two recitations. The recitation we have been hearing for many years contains some of the melodic embellishment that is not permissible.
Recently, a recitation in a plain, measured style has appeared from him, and it is much better than his previous recitation. I advise paying attention to this type of recitation, as it is much better than that one, especially if the one reciting it is 'Abd al-Basit.
