Summary
There are hadiths encouraging recitation of the Quran with a good voice, including the instruction to adorn the Quran with one's voice and the saying that one who does not chant the Quran is not of the Prophet's community. The view adopted is that reciting with a good voice is a recommended practice, and Imam al-Nawawi reported a consensus of the early and later scholars on its being sunnah. However, the rules of tajwid must take priority over melodious recitation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
maka kami cenderung untuk mengatakan bahawa membaca al-Quran dengan suara yang baik adalah satu tuntutan atau sunnah.
