The reciter of the Qur’an must begin from an independent phrase not connected to what precedes it. It is not permissible to begin with a phrase that leads to a corrupted meaning, such as: "Allah has taken a son" or "The hand of Allah is chained." A permissible beginning is from the beginning of surahs or parts, or from an independent phrase. What Tajweed scholars mean by "obligatory" (wajib) or "forbidden" (haram) in pausing and starting is a technical term, not a Sharia obligation that incurs sin, unless the reciter intends the corrupted meaning.
