Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, there is no doubt that the Prophet’s birthday celebration is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and is rejected.

The questioner:
The supplication for completing the recitation of the Qur'an is not established from any Companion other than one.

The Shaykh:
Who said that it is not established from any Companion other than one? The Companions used to gather when the Qur'an was completed, and they would say "Ameen" to the supplication and encourage one another. So-and-so would say, "I will complete the recitation," and they would attend his gathering while he supplicated and they said "Ameen." They encouraged one another to do this. Yes.
