Is reading the Quran with the "Reader Pen" considered the same as regular reading in terms of reward, and is using this pen, despite its benefits in improving tajwid and understanding, considered an innovation (bid'ah)?

Using an electronic pen that aids in reciting, memorizing, and understanding the Qur'an is not an innovation (bid'ah) because it is a permissible means that assists in obedience. Just as scholars permitted the use of modern devices for recording and broadcasting lectures, the electronic pen serves a religious benefit by correcting errors and perfecting recitation.

Listening to the Qur'an being recited from a device is permissible and commendable, and repeating after it to review memorization and correct recitation is blameless. A Muslim will be rewarded for their intention and for listening to the Qur'an and its interpretation through any means, though it is preferable to listen directly from a reciter.

Reciting the Qur'an with contemplation and reverence is better than merely listening. For those who do not master melodious recitation, it is better for them to read along with a skilled reciter via the electronic pen to correct their errors. As for those proficient in recitation and tajwid, it is better for them to read from the Mus'haf or from memory, as this is more conducive to a focused heart and closer to reverence. The skilled reciter is with the noble and righteous scribes, and he who falters in his recitation will have two rewards.
