Question
Assalam alaikum ,
Jazakum Allah khair for your help to people with your knowledge. And may Allah bless your efforts on guiding us to his right path.
I want to ask about reading the non-arabs koran from a transliteration written in English or languages other than Arabic. And does the Fatwa change if I do that with listening to a Koran recitation?
Thank You
Answer
Alhamdu-li-llah wa as-Salatu wa as-Salamu 'ala Rasool-il-llah,
Reading the transliteration, while listening to the recital, to help one with his/her own recitation is allowable. However, they do need to make it a priority to learn how to read it in Arabic, because only then, they can truly correct their recitation.
Allah knows best.
