The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an in Congregation on Friday

Question:
May Allah reward you. He has another question. He says: On Friday, before the imam enters the pulpit, a group of people recite the Qur'an in congregation aloud. I arrive at the mosque early, so I occupy myself with the remembrance of Allah, prayer, and dhikr, and I do not mind. Is my action correct?

Answer:
Yes. If you arrive early for the Friday prayer, you pray whatever voluntary prayers you can, sit and remember Allah, or read the Qur'an. All of this is permissible. It is all dhikr of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). You recite the Qur'an or occupy yourself with tasbih, tahlil, and takbir. As for what he mentioned about a group gathering and reading the Qur'an with a collective voice, that is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and is not permissible. Each person reads for himself. Each person reads for himself and does not link with the others in a collective voice. This is only permissible for the teacher who teaches the Qur'an. It is permissible for him to recite a verse to the students so that they read it in congregation in order to teach them. Yes.
