In Shiite and Sunni religious sources, many orders have been made to read the Qur’an in Tartīl and with a loud voice. Following these recommendations, the individual and collective Tilāwa have been customary in Islamic societies. Due to Muslim consensus, individual Tilāwa of the Qur'an is permissible and a tradition. But in the meantime, the Takfiri Salafists, as a sect of the Islamic sects, have taken a different path than the other sects of Ummah. This thinking path, in addition to not permitting the collective Tartīl of the Qur'an, but also considers it a bidʻah . In the meantime, the question that comes to mind is that is this style of recitation of the Qur'an really a bidʻah? The research to answer this question through a documentary and analytical method based on Sunni and Salafi sources, first studies the collective Tilāwa of Qur’an in the view of Sunni scholars and then explains and analyzes the Salafist view and finally concludes that the Salafists' view lacks religious and rational documentation in considering the collective Tilāwa of the Qur'an as a bidʻah, contrary to the Sunni and Shiite Muslim consensus. Another finding of the present paper is that the collective Tilāwa of the Quran is permissible and legitimate and some reasons in the Qur’an and the tradition and the life of Ṣaḥābah and Muslims confirms it.
