Will one who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder regarding Qur’an recitation be held accountable for his sparse recitation and be considered as having abandoned the Qur’an?
A Muslim must ward off obsessive thoughts and distract himself from them, focusing instead on the Qur'an through recitation, contemplation, and action. If he can read, he should recite it frequently. If he cannot, he should strive to correct his recitation, listen to skilled reciters, and frequently look into the Mus'haf with contemplation. Abandoning the Qur'an occurs by abandoning its recitation, acting upon it, contemplating its meanings, and failing to submit to its rulings.
