Is learning Tajweed obligatory, and is it permissible to read and memorize the Quran without Tajweed until circumstances are favorable for it, especially given the mother's current objection to learning Tajweed?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Reciting the Quran with proper tajwid is an obligation for both men and women. There is no harm in reading it without a shaykh, as long as this does not lead to altering the words or distorting the letters. If your mother prevents you from attending a Quranic instruction course, you can recite the Quran from the Mushaf and utilize audio and video recordings and discs.
