Is abandoning the recitation of the Qur'an for a day or two a sign of hypocrisy?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people go a day or two without reading anything from the Qur'an other than in the prayer. What is your advice to these people? Is that hypocrisy?
Answer:
This is harshness, not hypocrisy, if Allah wills. But it is harshness toward the Qur'an and abandoning the Qur'an. So the Muslim should allocate a share of the Qur'an for himself every day, even if it is not much. He should allocate a share of recitation from the Qur'an to read every day until he memorizes the Qur'an, until he completes it, until he completes the entire Qur'an. It is not permissible for him to exceed one month without completing the Qur'an; he should complete the Qur'an every month. This is the minimum. Yes.
