The questioner : This is a listener to the program who used the initials H A M for his name. He works in the Kingdom. In his message, he says that he is a young man who believes in Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and affirms his Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), is diligent in performing the obligatory prayers, and frequently reads the Qur'an, praise be to Allah. However, he says: When I compare my recitation with that of the reciters on the radio, I find that I make many mistakes. Do I commit a sin for the mistakes I make unintentionally? Please advise us; may Allah reward you?
The Shaykh : I say that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) revealed the Book to His servant Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in a clear Arabic language, as Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) said:[Ash-Shu'ara 26:193-195] Therefore, a person must read this Qur'an in the Arabic language, raising what is to be raised, making what is to be made accusative, making what is to be made genitive, and making what is to be made jussive. It is not permissible for him to change the vowel marks. If he changes them, it is obligatory for him to learn and to repeat as much as he is able. It is not permissible for him to be negligent in this matter and say, "I will remain as I am with my mistakes."
As for the characteristics of the letters that do not change the vowel marks, such as elongation (madd) and shortening (qasr) and the like, these are not obligatory, unless leaving out the elongation leads to dropping a letter, or shortening leads to dropping a letter. In that case, it is not permissible, because dropping a letter is like changing its vowel mark. The mushafs are available, praise be to Allah, and it is possible for a person to take a mushaf and read it word by word until he gets it right. Yes.
