Question
What do you say about a person who recites Qur’aan with rhythms like those of songs or which are taken from songs? Please advise us, may Allaah reward you with good.
Answer
Praise be to Allah.It is not permissible for the believer to recite Qur’aan with melodies
like those of songs or in the manner of singers. He has to recite it
as it was recited by our righteous predecessors, the companions of the
Messenger (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) and those who followed them in truth. So it should
be recited with the proper intonation (tarteel), in a solemn and humble
manner, so that it may have an effect on the hearts of those who hear
it and on the heart of the reciter himself.
Reading it in the manner or way of singers is not permitted.
