Idjaza

The types of Idjazates that are awarded to Hafiz are:[2]

• Permission with one narration, such as the authorization with the Warsh recitation.
• Certification in the Seven Ahruf from Matn Al-Shatibiya.[3]
• The authorization in the three Qira'ates that complement the Ten recitations through the book Al-Durra al-Madhiyya, and the Ten recitations from the path of Al-Shatibiya and Al-Durrah are called the Minor Ten recitations.[4]
• Certification in the ten major readings through Taybat al-Nashr.[5]

By obtaining an Idjaza, the reciter would have connected his Silsila of transmission to Muhammad and became part of the chain of transmitters of the Quran with the connected Isnād.

There are licenses of another kind, such as those that hadith scholars used to grant to their students or their peers, and it means witnessing to the metaphor of mastery of the knowledge that was permitted in it and its eligibility to teach others. And it has multiple ways to refer to it in the books of the Hadith terminology.

The steps to obtaining an Idjaza are:[6]

1. Memorizing the entire sixty Hizbs of the Quran perfectly.[7]
2. Study a matn or a book on Tajwid, preferably the one of Ibn al-Jazari called Taybat al-Nashr.[8]
3. Obtaining a license with one Qira'at, such as Warsh recitation.[9]
4. Memorizing the text of Matn Al-Shatibiya for the Seven readers and Al-Durra al-Madhiyya with him for those who want the minor ten, or preserving the good publication of those who want the major ten recitations.[10]
5. Understanding the text of the matn and studying it fully.
6. Reading a complete Khatma in memory with a skilled Sheikh, taking care of the different aspects and their edits, and taking care to link the readers differences with their evidence from the text adopted in reading.[11]
