Summary
No text from the sources of Islamic law was found stating that reciting verse 9 of Surah al-Hijr before reading the Quran protects a person from recitation errors. The verse explains that Allah preserves the Quran from distortion, and does not guarantee the reader's tongue. Correct recitation is obtained by learning tajwid and the points of articulation, and by reciting in person before a teacher.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Membaca zikir atau doa yang dimaksudkan tidak menjamin lidah seseorang daripada melakukan kesalahan dalam bacaannya.
