The Ruling on Learning Tajwid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
You mentioned verses that encourage reflecting upon the Qur'an and memorizing it. Does that make it obligatory to memorize the Qur'an with the rules of tajwid?
The issue of tajwid is not obligatory. Whoever reflects on the condition of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and those who came after them will know that it is not obligatory.And if we said: It is obligatory for us to correct many people today, including the imams of mosques and the shaykhs as well. If you asked the great shaykhs and scholars about the rules of tajwid, they would not know them. The important thing is that you read the Qur'an without a lhan (mispronunciation) that changes the meaning, and that you do not merge letters that cannot be merged, and that you pronounce the letters and vowel movements as best as you can.
As for tajwid, it is divided into two categories: An exaggerated type, which is spoken against, is closer to being prohibited than to being permissible.
Another category: Natural, so this is praiseworthy and recommended, and it is adorning the voice with the Qur'an.But we do not say: It is obligatory.
