𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟑

Shaykh Uthmān Ibn Sulaymān Murād continued in the next line with explanation of Lahn Khafiyy, he said:

أمَّا الخَفِيْ فَخَطأٌ في العُرفِ ... من غيرِ إِخلالٍ كَتَرْكِ الوَصْفِ

As for the Khafiyy, it's an error in the Urf (conventional way of recitation) ... That doesn't alter the meaning, like leaving a characteristic (of the letter)

So, the Lahn Khafiyy doesn't alter the meaning and these are mistakes like, omitting Ikhfā, Qalqalah, excessive or deficient ghunnah measure, inconsistent Madd (other than the natural Madd) counts etc..

لا يَعرِفُ الخفِيْ سِوى المُجَوِّدِ ... ويَعْرِفُ الجَلِيَّ كُلُ واحدِ

The Khafiyy is only recognized by an expert (in Tajwīd)... While everyone recognizes the Jaliyy

So, these errors are not easily detected by everyone, only those who are experts in the science can easily detect these errors.

WHAT IS THE RULING ON BOTH?

صِيانةُ اللَفْظِ عَن الجَلِيِّ ... يدْعُونهُ بالواجبِ الشرعيِّ

وصَوْنُهُ عن الخَفِيْ المُشاعِ ... يَدْعُوَنَهُ بالواجبِ الصِّناعِيْ

Safeguarding the word from the Jaliyy... they refer to it as a Shar'ī obligation

And safeguarding it (the word) from the Khafiyy... they refer to it as a professional obligation

Talking about the rulings on both he said:

Safeguarding one's tongue from Lahn Jaliyy is obligatory in the Sharī'ah.

This is because Lahn Jaliyy alters the meaning of the Āyāt, hence presenting a different meaning other than what Allāh has revealed

As for Lahn Khafiyy, it's not obligatory as to the Sharī'ah to avoid it, but highly desirable and a means to achieve excellence in the recitation of the Qur'ān.

Rather, this is a professional obligation to avoid Lahn Khafiyy as well. Absence of Lahn Khafiyy shows one's mastery of the recitation of the Qur'ān.
