Question:
This questioner says: Is reciting the supplication for completing the Qur'an a recommended practice (sunnah) or obligatory?
Answer:
The supplication for completing the Qur'an is a recommended practice (sunnah); it is not obligatory. When you finish reading the Qur'an, you should supplicate to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), because this is a time when supplication is answered, by the permission of Allah, upon completing the Qur'an. So you supplicate to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The Companions, when one of them wanted to complete the Qur'an, would invite his brothers, they would gather, and then he would supplicate while they said "Ameen" to his supplication. Yes. But it is not obligatory. Yes.
