The one who recites the Qur'an in secret is like the one who gives charity in secret

Question: I, praise be to Allah, recite the Qur'an well, to a degree close to memorization, but my problem is that when I recite aloud without a mushaf, I often make mistakes. So, is there a sin on me for my recitation if I recite in secret, or does that diminish my reward?
Answer:
Reciting in secret is better, as the hadith clarified, which a group of narrators reported with a good chain from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:.
This indicates that reciting in secret is better, just as giving charity in secret is better, unless necessity and public benefit call for reciting aloud; such as the imam who leads people in prayer, or the khatib who delivers the sermon to the people.
So, if reciting in secret is more beneficial for you, it is better, unless your brothers need you to recite for them to hear. In that case, recite for them from the mushaf so that no mistake comes from you, or so that one of them who has memorized it may point out your errors.

المسر في القرآن كالمسر بالصدقة، والجاهر بالقرآن كالجاهر بالصدقةThis indicates that reciting in secret is better, just as giving charity in secret is better, unless necessity and public benefit call for reciting aloud; such as the imam who leads people in prayer, or the khatib who delivers the sermon to the people.
