The ruling on reciting the Qur'an for one who does not know its interpretation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence, this questioner—a resident of Jeddah—asks: Is it true that reciting the Noble Qur'an without understanding its interpretation yields no reward? Is this correct?
Answer: It is not correct. Rather, if one recites with reflection and comprehension, he receives reward, even if he does not understand much. His recitation with reflection, comprehension, and humility earns him reward for that:
[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِيَدَّبَّرُوا آيَاتِهِ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُوْلُوا الأَلْبَابِ
[38:29]. Therefore, he should reflect, comprehend, and recite with humility and without haste. This brings great reward. Yes.
