TIDAK MAHIR MEMBACA AL-QURAN WALAUPUN BERGURU
Is it true that someone who cannot recite the Quran fluently despite having a teacher is considered to have an empty heart, and how can this be overcome?
Short answer
The ruling states that the teacher's view has some basis of truth, because the Quran was revealed with great weight and earnestness.

Summary
The ruling states that the teacher's view has some basis of truth, because the Quran was revealed with great weight and earnestness. The remedy is to keep learning and to stay in close, regular study (mulazamah) with the teacher. One should not despair and should keep striving to succeed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pendapat gurunya ada asas kebenaran kerana al-Qur'an diturunkan dengan penuh keberatan dan kesungguhan.
