Reciting in prayer with multiple recitations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: Is it permissible for a reciter of the Qur'an to recite a single surah, for example, using several different narrations? That is, if someone is reciting from a surah of the Qur'an and the narrations become mixed up for him, so he starts moving from one narration to another, as if he begins by reciting with the narration of Hafs from 'Asim, then with the narration of Warsh from Nafi', does he have any obligation in this matter or not?
Answer: If the recitation agrees with the Uthmanic mushaf, its chain of transmission is sound, and it does not deviate from the recitations of the ten, then the prayer is valid with it, provided these conditions are met: that it agrees with the Uthmanic mushaf, which is the Imam mushaf, that its chain of transmission is sound, and that it does not deviate from the recitations of the ten. If it deviates from the recitations
of the ten, there is scholarly disagreement on this. So if you recite with any recitation of this type in which these conditions are met, the recitation is valid and the prayer is valid.
As for varying the recitations in prayer, this is not recommended. It is not recommended to vary the recitation, reading sometimes with the recitation of Hafs, sometimes with the recitation of Warsh, and sometimes with the recitation of so-and-so or so-and-so. This is not recommended, especially if it causes confusion for the worshippers, or for those who are not accustomed to this practice, for then it is not recommended.
