Completing the Recitation of the Qur'an in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it necessary, Honorable Shaykh, to complete the recitation of the Qur'an, especially in the month of Ramadan, or is there flexibility in this matter?
Answer:
Completing the recitation of the Qur'an carries great virtue, and it is not limited to Ramadan or any other specific time. If one completes it every ten days, every seven days, or every three days, all of that is good.
The Salaf (the earliest generations) used to divide the Qur'an into portions in this way as well. Some of them would complete it in a month, some in every ten days, some in every seven days, and some in every three days, and some would do more than that. So the matter is broad, and praise be to Allah, in Ramadan and in other times, except that in Ramadan the reward is greater, because the month is the month of the Qur'an, as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:185] Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
