Imฤm Al-Khฤqฤnฤซ has this to say about Lahn:
ูุฃูู ุนูู ุงูุฐูุฑ ุฅุชูุงู ุญูุธู
ู ู ุนุฑูุฉ ูู ุงููุญู ููู ุฅุฐ ูุฌุฑู
ููู ุนุงุฑูุง ุจุงููุญู ููู ุง ุชุฒูููู
ู ู ุง ููุฐู ูุง ูุนุฑู ุงููุญู ู ู ุนุฐุฑ
The first study of the (Divine) Remembrance (the Qurโฤn) is mastering its memorizationโฆ
and recognition of an error from your mouth when it occurs.
So be aware of errors so that you may remove it,...
for there is no excuse for the one who does not recognise errors.
So,what is meant by Lahn?
ุงููุญู ูุบุฉ:- ุงูุฎุทุฃ ู ุงูู ูู ุนู ุงูุตูุงุจ
ู ุงุตุทูุงุญุง:- ูู ุงูุฎุทุฃ ุงูุฐู ูุทุฑุฃ ุนูู ูุฑุงุกุฉ ุงูููู ุงุช ุงููุฑุขููุฉ ุณูุงุก ุฃูุงู ุงูุฎุทุฃ ุธุงูุฑุง ุฃู ุฎููุง ุฃุฎูู ุจุงูู ุนูู ุฃู ูุง ูุฎูู
Lahn linguistically, means an error and deviation from correctness.
Technically, it refers to the error that occur in the recitation of the words of the Qur'ฤn. It makes no difference whether this error is clear or obscure, alters the meaning or doesn't alter the meaning.
Shaykh Uthmฤn Ibn Sulaymฤn Murฤd dedicated 10 beautiful lines from his poem, As-Salsabฤซl Ash-Shฤfฤซ, to give a comprehensive overview of Lahn. He described its types, the rulings on each and then profer solutions to overcome these errors
Let's see what he has to say
ูุงููุญูู ูุณู ุงูู ุฌููููู ูุฎููููู ... ููููู ุญุฑุงู ู ู ูุนู ุฎููุงูู ูู ุงูุฎููููู

Let's go through this lines one after the other
ูุงููุญูู ูุณู ุงูู ุฌููููู ูุฎููููู ... ููููู ุญุฑุงู ู ู ูุนู ุฎููุงูู ูู ุงูุฎููููู
And the Lahn is two types; Jaliyy (Obvious) and Khafiyy (Obscured)... All is prohibited with a difference of opinion on the Khafiyy
He's saying that Lahn Jaliyy is Harฤm (prohibited) while there's a difference of opinions amongst the scholars regarding Lahn Khafiyy. Some put it at the same level as Jaliyy while others don't.
ุฃู ููุง ุงูุฌููููู ููุฎูุทุฃู ูู ุงูู ูุจูููู ... ุฎูููู ุจูู ุฃู ูุง ููุฎูููู ุงูู ุนูููู
As for the Jaliyy, it's an error in the (word) structure... whether it causes alterations to the meaning or not
This includes errors one make in switching a letter in place of another eg ุตุฑุงุท as ุณุฑุงุท or ุฃุนุทููุง as ุฃุนุชููุง etc..
Further examples include;
Changing the harakah such ุฃูุนู ุชู to ุฃูุนู ุชู etc..
Omitting or adding a natural Madd such as ูุงูุง to ูุงู or ููุญููููฐ to ูุญูู etc..
All these are errors that are prohibited and whoever does them intentionally is sinful for that.
