Summary
Reciting the Quran with tajwid is stated to be a necessity, and a person who does not observe tajwid while reciting is considered sinful. Learning the science of tajwid is described as a communal obligation (fardhu kifayah), but learning the basic tajwid whose neglect would change or corrupt the meaning is a religious obligation (wajib syar'ie) binding on everyone who recites the Quran. The technical rules (wajib sina'ie) such as idgham and ikhfa', which perfect the recitation, carry no sin if left unlearned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
namun membaca al-Quran dengan bertajwid merupakan suatu kelaziman dan kemestian, dengan kata sesiapa yang tidak menjaga tajwid ketika membacanya maka berdosalah dia.
