The ruling on completing the recitation of the Qur'an every three nights and repeating surahs in the tarawih prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A man leads the people in the tarawih prayers and completes the recitation of the Qur'an every three nights. At the end of the completion, he repeats the recitation of Surat al-Falaq and Surat al-Nas, and he says Allahu Akbar between two surahs without bowing, then he immediately recites two surahs, Surat al-Fatihah and Surat al-Baqarah, and then he bows. What is the ruling on this?

Answer:
This is an innovation. All of this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). One does not complete the recitation in two nights. This is a hardship for him and for the people. This is a hardship for him and for the people. It is sufficient for him to complete the recitation of the Qur'an once in the month, completing it at the end of the month. This is how the Companions and the righteous predecessors used to complete it at the end of the month, distributing it over the nights and completing it at the end of the month. This is easier for the reciter and easier for the listener. As for this effort that is mentioned, where he does this action, this is an effort and this is not permissible. In it are also innovations, where he repeats the surahs and repeats such things. Allah has not sent down any authority for this. Yes.
