The answer

In the Holy Quran and its sciences, there is nothing called "maqamat al-sawtiyah" (vocal مقامات), and it has no relation to Tajwid. Rather, it is an innovation that originated in the embrace of singers. A Muslim should avoid it and recite the Book of Allah as it was revealed, in a slow, rhythmic tone, as Allah Almighty says: "And recite the Quran with a measured recitation" (Al-Muzzammil: 4) and "And We have recited it in a slow, rhythmic tone" (Al-Furqan: 32).
