Question:
What is the ruling on distributing prizes to those who have memorized the Qur'an in the month of Ramadan on the twenty-seventh night every year, without there being an intention to celebrate this night?
Answer:
By Allah, this is not appropriate. Making it a habit, meaning on every twenty-seventh night, is not appropriate, because there is a fear that it will be taken as a prescribed practice. If it is repeated, people and the common folk will understand that this is prescribed on the twenty-seventh night. Leave this and move it to another night. Change the nights; do not stick to one night. Yes.
