What is the ruling on praying behind someone who recites the Qur’an with "tar'eed"?
First: "Al-Tar'eed" (trembling) in Quranic recitation is a blameworthy innovation. It involves oscillating the voice as if shivering from cold or pain, and it may be mixed with some singing melodies.
Second: The prayer behind someone who recites with Al-Tar'eed is valid, because Al-Tar'eed does not alter the meaning. Rather, scholars have condemned it due to the artificiality it entails and its resemblance of the Quran to singing.
