I have a question regarding tankees. According to what I know, tankees
is when you recite an ayah, huroof, words, and surahs. But, what I
want to know is that is it haraam to MEMORIZE it that way. eg: I used
to memorize the quraan in a madrasah where we memorized this way: for
example, if our teacher gave us ayah 1-5, surah hashr; we would start
memorizing from: (transliteration)"wama qata'tum millinatin au tarak
tumooha qa'imah"(finsh ayah and go to the one before it, we DIDN'T
start from"sabbaha lillahi" and memorized backwards like that until we
reached the first ayah. Ofcourse, when we recitedit to the sheikhafter
memorizing, we said it in order, but is MEMORIZING while displacing
the order"tankees"?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Tankees or altering the order of verses when reciting is haraam,
whether that is during prayer or otherwise.
It says in Asna'l-Mataalib (1/63): It is haraam to switch the order of
verses when reciting, because that undermines the miraculous nature of
thetext and it ignores the wisdom behind the order in which the verses
appear. End quote.
It says in Haashiyat ad-Dasooqi (1/242): Switching the order of
soorahs is makrooh, and switching the order of consecutive verses in
one rak'ah is haraam and invalidates the prayer, because it distorts
it. End quote.
It says in Kashshaaf al-Qinaa' (1/343): It is makrooh to switch the
order of soorahs, such asreciting al-Inshiraah (94), then reciting
ad-Duha (93) after it, whether that is in one ortwo rak'ahs, because
of the report narrated fromIbn Mas'ood, according to which he was
asked about someone who recited Qur'an in the wrong order. He said:
Hisheart is disordered. Abu 'Ubayd explained that as referring to when
a person recites one soorah, then after it he recites another that
comes before it in the order (of soorahs in the Mushaf). This was
mentioned by Ibn Nasrullah in ash-Sharh asbeing similar to the case
with verses, that is, a similar ruling of it being makrooh applies in
the case of switching the order of the verses. It says in al-Furoo'
that there is consensus on this point. Ibn Nasrullah said: If it was
said that it is haraam to switch the order of verses, that would be a
valid opinion. The evidence for it being only makrooh is not clear,
and using as evidence the way the Prophet (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) learned it is subject to further discussion,
because that was due to need, as the Qur'aan wasrevealed according to
events. Shaykh [Ibn Taymiyah] said: Following the order of verses is
obligatory, because the order in which they appear is based on clear
instructions of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him), according to scholarly consensus. End quote.
But if the switching of the order occurs when memorising, not when
reciting or asking someone to listen so as to check one's
memorisation, there is nothing wrong with that. So one may begin by
memorising the fifth verse, for example, then the fourth, then when
one wants to recite them, one recites the fourth verse and then the
fifth, without switching the order. Then when he has memorised the
third, and he wants to recite what he had memorised,he should recite
them in the proper order without switching it. So he should recite the
third, then the fourth, then the fifth. There is nothing wrong with
this; some teachers do it this way and think that it is the best way
of memorising.
To sum up: It is not permissible to recite twoconsecutive verses in
thewrong order, and it is not permissible to switchthe order of words
in one verse.
