The questioner : Is it obligatory for the reciter of the Qur'an to be well-versed in the rules of tajwid?
The Shaykh : It is not obligatory. It is not obligatory for the reciter of the Qur'an to be well-versed in the rules of tajwid, nor is it a condition that his recitation be with tajwid. Rather, he is rewarded and granted good for his recitation if he reads the letters as they are and the vowel marks as they are, even if he does not observe the rules of tajwid. However, tajwid in some respects improves the pronunciation and beautifies the voice, and it is well known that a person should beautify his voice with the Book of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you, O honorable Shaykh. The listener is Hasan Ali Atiya from Jordan.
