Summary
Beautifying the voice when reciting the Quran is encouraged, and scholars agree on its merit. Melodious recitation is permitted as long as it is done with tartil and does not damage the wording, tajweed or meaning of the verses. It becomes prohibited if excessive to the point of adding or dropping letters or vowels, or if it follows entertaining tunes based on the rules of music.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekiranya berlebih-lebihan sehingga menambah satu huruf atau menghilangkan satu huruf, maka ia adalah haram.
