People gathering with one of the imams at the completion of the Qur'an, and the resulting crowding and mixing: what is the Shaykh's opinion on this?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh Muhammad, my question is: People gather with some of the imams when he wants to complete the recitation of the Qur'an, and there is severe crowding and mixing of men and women. Do you have a comment on this matter? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and the Imam of the righteous, and upon his family and his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment. Gathering for the completion of the Qur'an has been a practice since ancient times.
People like to attend the supplication, hoping that Allah will include them in His mercy. But I see that if what the questioner mentioned occurs, such as mixing and crowding and other things, then it is fitting for the believer not to go to it. However, the completion of the Qur'an, or the supplication for the completion of the Qur'an with prayer, has no established Sunnah from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or from the Companions, as far as we know. The most that is reported from the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) is that Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) used to gather his family when he completed the Qur'an and make supplication. May Allah bless you.
