She says that she does not complete a recitation of the Qur'an except in one or two months, and perhaps more. Is she sinful for that?

Question:
She is a woman who prays, fasts, and reads the Qur'an, praise be to Allah, and she also works to earn her livelihood. However, she is unable to complete a recitation of the Qur'an in one or two months, but perhaps in more than that, meaning she is not completing it. What do you advise her? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Completing a recitation of the Qur'an is among the recommended practices, and the sooner one completes it, the better. If one completes it in a month, or every ten days, or every three days, all of this is better. However, it is not obligatory. The most preferable and best is not to exceed one month, so that there is a recitation every month; this is the best. It is not a sin to complete it in two or three months, for this is among the recommended practices and not among the obligations. May Allah reward you with good.
