Question:
Shaykh, he also says regarding the completion of the Qur'an that some people are strict with the imams about the necessity of completing the Qur'an in Ramadan during the tarawih prayer, and they say that this is also a facilitation for the worshippers. What is your opinion, Shaykh Salih, on that?
Answer:
Yes, it is better for the imam to recite the entire Qur'an in the tarawih and tahajjud prayers than for him not to complete it, so that the ma'mum hear the entire Qur'an. This is how the righteous Salaf used to do; the imams would complete the Qur'an with the people in Ramadan, and they would make du'a upon its completion, and the people would say "Ameen" to their du'a, so that they would obtain rewards and blessings through that. Yes.
