Is it obligatory to read Qur’aan with the rules of Tajweed?
Dear Brothers & Sisters,As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
Some scholars of tajweed said that it is obligatory to read Qur’aan with the rules of tajweed. Is that true?

Answer:
Praise be to Allah.
The correct view is that reading Qur’aan with the rules of tajweed is not obligatory; tajweed is only a means of making one’s recitation more beautiful. If a person reads and pronounces the letters clearly with the vowels as marked, then this is sufficient. With regard to the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “and recite the Quran (aloud) in a slow, (pleasant tone and) style” [al-Muzzammil 73:4], that does not refer to tajweed; rather what is meant is to read it at a measured pace. End quote.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
