Ruling on studying tafsir for one who memorizes the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it obligatory for one who memorizes the Noble Qur'an, is it obligatory for him to memorize the tafsir in its entirety as well? Or is the person given a choice in this matter? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
No, it is not obligatory for him. Even memorizing the Qur'an is a recommended practice, but he should memorize from the Qur'an what Allah makes easy for him, so that he can pray with it. The obligatory part is memorizing Surat al-Fatihah[Al-Fatihah 1:2], and memorizing the rest is a recommended practice for the believer. He should memorize what is made easy for him so that he can recite it in prayer and outside of prayer. If Allah makes it easy for him to memorize the entire Book, the great Qur'an, then that is a great good and a great benefit. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
