What is the definitive ruling on the permissibility of learning the rules of Tajweed, and is one who is able to master them but neglects to do so sinful, especially given that some are of the opinion that simple recitation suffices, so long as a verse of mercy is not turned into a verse of torment?
The statement that it is permissible to recite the Quran without tajwid, as long as the worshiper does not change a verse of mercy into a verse of punishment, is false. Rather, reciting the Quran with tajwid is obligatory in general for whoever is able to do so.
