Recitation with Tartil
Question
A qari is the imam of a mosque. The way he recites the Qur’an at gatherings and the like, he recites in the same way inside the prayer. Should the Qur’an be recited inside the prayer with hadr (at a quick pace), or in the way he recites at gatherings and the like?
Answer
The command to recite with tartil (measured recitation) has come in the Noble Qur’an, and it is for the prayer: [ar]يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُزَّمِّلُ قُمِ ٱلَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا نِّصْفَهُۥٓ أَوِ ٱنقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلًا[/ar] “O you wrapped [in garments]!
