Question
Reference number: 726467 | Qur’an and Interpretation | Jan. 30, 2021
I was reciting some verses of the Holy Qur’an by heart. My teacher did not notice the mistake I made, and I did not recognize that I had made a mistake but after some time. Am I considered sinful?
Answer
Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger.
As it is understood, the teacher did not intend to ignore your mistake, nor you intended to cheat. You realized that you had a mistake later, and you did not intend to make use of your teacher’s inattention. Thus, both of you are not considered sinful.
