Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a reader starts with Surat al-Nisa, then Surat al-Baqarah, then Surat Aal 'Imran, and continues, is this considered a khatmah?
Answer:
If he reads the entire Qur'an, that is a khatmah. However, it is better to start with the first section and end with Surat al-Nas, because the order of the surahs is recommended or obligatory according to some scholars. But if he deviates and places some surahs before others, there is no harm. Yes.
