Does one receive reward for reciting the Quran while listening to audio recordings, given that one has not memorized the Quran and is weak in recitation?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Listening attentively when the Quran is being recited is better than reading along with the reciter, based on the general meaning of Allah's statement: "And when the Quran is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy." However, if reading along with a tape recording is for the purpose of learning how to recite, then there is no harm in that, and you will have the reward for reciting.
