Question
Nowadays in South Africa, UK, etc. Masjid committees are inviting Qaris from Saudi Arabia. The Qaris go around the country and lead Maghrib or Esha Salah. There is a lot of excitement and post Salah analysis of how beautiful their recitation was. In other words Qur'an has become an entertainment package. The listening has therefore become devoid of sincerity, hence the eyes remain dry and there is no action (amal) subsequent to the recitation. The biggest evidence for this is that nearly all the irregulars that come for the Salah when the qaris are present, are absent from the next Salah. Aside from the impermissibility of using the microphone for Salah, are such 'programmes' really permissible?
Answer
These qira't programmes are not permissible. The qaaris themselves are faasiqs. The programmes are merely for entertainment. The Qur'aan is subjected to mockery. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Most of the munaafiqeen of my Ummah are its qaaris."
