Does one who memorizes the Qur'an and then forgets it commit a sin?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence! Does one who memorizes the Qur'an and then forgets it commit a sin?

Answer:
The correct view is that he does not commit a sin, but he should strive to memorize it, and he does not commit a sin; because forgetting is not within his capacity
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.رَبَّنَا لا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا
[al-Baqarah:286]
Allah said: I have done so.قال الله: قد فعلت
But he should strive to memorize it and be given good news; whoever strives, Allah will make his matter easy, and what he forgets, he will not be held accountable for it, but he must strive; because Allah says:
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.رَبَّنَا لا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا
[al-Baqarah:286] And it is authentic from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
Allah says: I have done so.يقول الله: قد فعلت
Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you.
