To what extent is the fatwa valid which prohibits starting recitation from the middle of a verse or interrupting it, and obliges returning to the beginning of the verse to complete the meaning, and what is the ruling on pausing at the end of verses?

The fatwa thanked the questioner for his advice, but clarified several points regarding his statement: the length, clarity, and benefit of the fatwa, and considered the claims that this was not true to be inaccurate. It requested evidence to refute the fatwa, affirming its readiness to review the truth. It pointed out the contradiction in the questioner's statement regarding the invalidity of starting from the middle of a verse and it being disliked. It clarified that the fatwa conveyed the opinion of Maliki jurists who permit reading part of a verse to establish the sunnah, emphasizing that this matter is one of ijtihad (independent reasoning) and should not be a cause for fanaticism. It also mentioned that the fatwa clarified that it is preferable for the Imam to start reading from the beginning of the verse to avoid confusion, affirming its acceptance of differing opinions in matters of ijtihad.
