The Shaykh : The correct view is that reciting the Qur'an with tajwid is not obligatory, and that tajwid is only for beautifying the recitation. So if a person recites in a way that clarifies the letter and the vowel movement, and moves the letter with the movement it is supposed to have, then that is sufficient. Yes.
