Question:
Is reading the Qur'an obligatory every day? And what is the ruling on being negligent in that? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
As for what is obligatory, only what is prescribed in the obligatory prayer, which is reading Surat al-Fatihah, is obligatory. It is recommended for a person to read whatever is easy for him of the Qur'an every day. It is recommended that he not read less, and it is recommended that what he reads each day not be less than a part (juz'), so that he completes the recitation of the Qur'an in the full month. If he completes it in less than that, in every ten days, in every seven days, or in every three days, that is better. And if he reads it in the night prayer, that is better.
