Summary
The Muzakarah resolved that the recitation of Hafs from Asim is recommended in Malaysia, as it is the most widespread and well known in Asia, especially in this country. Anyone wishing to recite a qiraat other than Hafs from Asim must first inform, or reach agreement with, the imam and congregation. This is to avoid confusion during the prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
bacaan yang telah tersebar luas lagi masyhor di seluruh dunia, di Rantau Asia, khasnya di negara kita ialah mengikut bacaan Riwayat Hafsun 'An 'Asim, maka sewajarnyalah bacaan tersebut dimasyorkan di negara ini.
