What is the ruling on studying the chains of narration for the canonical recitations?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: His EminenceThe Shaykh : So why do we not conduct an investigation into this chain, the chain of the Qur'an, just as is done with the hadith?
The Shaykh : This is the obligation of the specialists in the science of tajwid; so they must seek assistance if there are no specialists in the science of chains of narration among them; so they must seek assistance in that; because the reality is that specialization brings about matters that are beyond the general public. For example, one who is a specialist in the science of recitation or the canonical recitations is able to collect these chains of narration and classify them, and then it is possible for others among the people of hadith and those knowledgeable in the science of the critique and vindication of narrators to apply the pen of critique and vindication to them.
