Completing the Qur'an in the loud prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: An imam recites from the beginning of the Qur'an in the loud prayers and wants to complete the recitation of the Qur'an, saying that he is reviewing his memorization and allowing the people to hear the recitation of the entire Qur'an.
Answer:
This is a sunnah (recommended practice) that is burdensome for the people, and it is not the way the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the Qur'an in the obligatory prayers, nor did any of his Companions do this. This is done in Ramadan in the tarawih prayer. But among the strange things is that those who complete the Qur'an in the obligatory prayers do not complete it in the tarawih. So they commit a bid'ah (religious innovation) and leave the sunnah. There is no power and no strength except with Allah. This causes embarrassment for the people; they think this is a sunnah and that one must recite the entire Qur'an and complete it in the obligatory prayers, even though this has not been reported. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Muzzammil 73:20]
