Is it permissible to recite the Qur'an in a group?

Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: There is an institute, there is an institute for training, for training imams, and during the training they require them to recite the Qur'an in a group with one voice daily. Is it permissible to enroll in it? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Regarding the group recitation of the Qur'an, we have previously answered about it. If the intention is teaching, if the intention is teaching, the teacher recites the verse, then the students recite it in order to learn the recitation; there is no harm in that. As for group recitation for the sake of recitation, this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Group recitation for the sake of recitation is a bid'ah. Every Muslim recites the Qur'an individually, just like dhikr (remembrance of Allah); the dhikr we mentioned is individual, not group. Likewise, the recitation of the Qur'an is individual, except in the case of teaching.
