Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to hold a celebration for one who completes the memorization of the Qur'an, such as preparing a breakfast, or the like?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. This is a means of encouraging good. 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), when he memorized Surat al-Baqarah, I believe he held a feast. So there is nothing wrong with it. It is a means of encouraging good, and of rejoicing and being glad at good.
