Question

If a person memorizes the Quran, but makes a few mistakes while reciting it by memory, can he still become a Hafiz? Just to clarify can a person still pass his hifz test and become a hafiz if he makes mistakes?

Answer

Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

What if a haafiz forgets the Qur'an?

“The responsibility of a haafiz is a great responsibility and neglecting this responsibility is extremely serious. It is imperative for the parents to encourage the child according to the child's capability and potential.”
