Completing the Recitation of the Qur'an in Less Than Three Days

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: If a Muslim is able to complete the recitation of the Qur'an in less than three days, should he do so, or is that a violation of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "No one truly understands the Qur'an who recites it in less than three days"?

Answer:
There is no harm in completing it. As you heard, al-Shafi'i had sixty complete recitations in the month of Ramadan, day and night. So there is no harm in completing it. This restriction applies only to the night prayer, where one should not exceed three nights, because if it exceeds three nights, it becomes difficult for him. That is, the most he reads in the night prayer is ten parts every night; that is the most a person can manage. Yes.
