Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says that we are a group working in a WhatsApp group to memorize the Book of Allah and to spread enthusiasm for memorizing the Qur'an and not abandoning it. The idea is that each person in the group reads a part (juz') and sends it to the person who has finished reading, and so on, until the recitation of the Qur'an is completed.
Answer:
By Allah, my brother, this is an innovated method of which I know nothing. However, what is prescribed is that you gather in a mosque or in a place and study the Qur'an among yourselves. This is what is transmitted. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 2699a Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3378Sahih (Darussalam) This is what is prescribed. Yes.

those persons who assemble in the house among the houses of Allah (mosques) and recite the Book of Allah and they learn and teach the Qur'an (among themselves) there would descend upon them tranquility and mercy would cover them and the angels would surround them
ما اجتمع قوم في بيت من بيوت الله يتلون كتاب الله ويتدارسونه بينهم إلا نزلت عليهم السكينة وغشيتهم الرحمة وحفتهم الملائكةand Allah remembers (mentions) them before those who are with Him.
ذكرهم الله فيمن عنده،
