The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : What is the ruling on reading quickly over a sick person
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : What is the ruling on reading quickly, reading the Qur'an quickly over a sick person such that the verses are connected and not broken?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible for any person, whether he reads for himself or for the sick, to read the Qur'an except by clarifying its letters, because if he does not clarify its letters, he has fabricated a lie against Allah:[Al-An'am 6:21] The answer: No one, if he reads, for example: [An-Nas 114:1] and he mumbles it, can it be said that he read it? No, and if he says: I read it, it means that he has fabricated a lie against Allah, for Allah did not reveal it like this, so reading that involves dropping a letter from the letters is forbidden, even if the letter is emphatic and he neglected the emphasis, this is haram, if he said: [Al-Fatihah 1:2] haram, why?
The student: He dropped
The Shaykh : Did Allah reveal it like this, Rabb al-'Alamin? Then he has fabricated a lie against Allah, so the matter is serious, my brothers.
We hear some reciters who love to memorize the Qur'an and complete it do this, they recite it like poetry, then he wants to reach the end of the surah or the end of the part and it does not matter to him whether he established the letters or not, and this is haram, so the obligatory is clarifying the letters.
As for tajwid, it is not obligatory, tajwid is improving the pronunciation, if a person improves it, that is better, and if he does not improve it, then no, and a person is required to improve his reading of the Qur'an as Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed him that he listened to his recitation, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said to Abu Musa: You have been given, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) saidSahih Muslim 793e because Allah gave Dawud a pleasant, great voice, until the mountains would glorify with him, and the birds would stand still listening to his recitation because of its beauty and attraction, he said: meaning: I would have improved it more, so this indicates that it is befitting for a person to improve his voice with the Qur'an, but that tajwid is obligatory, no, the intended meaning is establishing the letters as they are with their movements and stillness, and tajwid is nothing but improvement, although some of those who do tajwid exaggerate and add, sometimes he adds to the elongation and sometimes to the nasalization, until you wonder how the Qur'an was revealed like this? Yes, indeed.

And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباًSay, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ[All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds -
