The answer

The jurists have stipulated that it is commendable for the reciter of the Qur'an to be humble, tranquil, and dignified during recitation, and the movement mentioned contradicts this. As for imitating the Jews in this movement, whoever intends to imitate them falls into it, and whoever does not intend to do so is not considered an imitator of them. However, their action is contrary to what is commendable. The prohibited imitation of the People of the Book is that which is blameworthy or intended as imitation.
