The ruling on one who reads and memorizes the Qur'an while being ignorant of its meaning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Our brother asks and says: What is the ruling on one who reads the Noble Qur'an while not knowing the interpretation of some of the verses he reads?
Answer: There is no blame on him; because people are of different categories, and those who know the Qur'an are the select few among people. So if he reads and preserves it and strives in its recitation, even if he does not understand the meaning, he owes nothing. However, if he learns and asks the scholars about some of the meanings, that is good. This is part of seeking knowledge and striving for benefit. But he does not become a sinner if he memorizes it and does not know the meaning. He should read it, increase his recitation, and learn the meanings to the extent of his ability from the scholars. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
