He has a number of mushafs; is he required to read from all of them, or what should he do with the surplus?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question is long, Shaykh Salih, but in summary: he has a number of mushafs and asks whether he is required to read from all of them, or if he can read from them in rotation, for example, or if you advise him to dispose of the surplus. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is best for him to dispose of the surplus. He can either give them to his brothers who need them and do not have mushafs, or place them in the mosque so that the Muslims who attend the mosque can read from them. He should be content with one mushaf; there is no need to collect a number of mushafs. However, if he has a number of mushafs, he is not required to read from all of them. This is not obligatory. But as we mentioned, if he has a surplus of mushafs, it is best for him to give them to his brothers so they can read from them, or to place them in the mosque so that he may have reward and recompense from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) for doing so. He should not deprive himself of that reward by keeping them with himself without need for them. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
