The answer

The reversal (tankees) of the Quran has four cases:

1. Reversal of Surahs (Chapters): Reciting a surah that precedes, in the order of the Mus'haf, the surah recited before it. Scholars differ on this, between permissibility and detestability, while agreeing on the validity of the prayer.

2. Reversal of Ayats (Verses): Reciting a verse before the verse that precedes it in the order of the Mus'haf. This is prohibited and invalidates the prayer according to some scholars, while others consider it detestable. The order of the verses is obligatory by text and consensus.

3. Reversal of Words: This is prohibited by consensus, and the prayer becomes invalid, whether done intentionally or out of forgetfulness.

4. Reversal of Letters: This is prohibited and invalidates the prayer, because it changes the meaning and deviates the Quran from the form in which it was revealed.
