Ruling on reciting the Qur'an in the manner of singers
Question:
“What do you say, your Eminence, about a person who recites the Qur'an with rhythms like those of songs or taken from songs? Please, advise! May Allah reward you!”
Answer:
“It is impermissible for a Mu'min (believer) to recite the Qur'an with melodies like those of songs or in the manner of singers. They have to recite it as it was recited by the Salaf (righteous predecessors), the Sahabah (Companions of the Prophet) and those who followed them in truth. It should be recited with the proper Tartil (slow recitation of the Qur'an), in a solemn and humble manner, so that it may have an effect on the hearts of those who hear it and on the hearts of the ones reciting as well.
However, reading it in the manner or way of singers is impermissible.”
