Is it permissible for a woman to recite the Holy Qur’an with tajwid?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is commanded to improve her recitation, recite the Quran in a slow, rhythmic tone (tartīl), and observe the rules of tajwīd, just like a man. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "And recite the Quran with a slow, rhythmic recitation" (73:4). However, she should not raise her voice while doing so in front of non- men, due to the potential for infatuation with her voice, and because she is forbidden from speaking in a soft, alluring manner.
