The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an Before Lessons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some of the brothers gather every week, and in this gathering there are some lessons and sermons. Before starting the lesson or sermon, they recite something from the Qur'an, and they have always been accustomed to doing so. What is the ruling, may Allah protect you, since we fear that this might be a bid'ah (religious innovation)?
Answer:
No, it is not a bid'ah. Reciting the Qur'an is not a bid'ah. The Companions, when they gathered, would order one of them to recite the Qur'an. And the scholars in these lands, until recently, used to begin their lesson sessions by reciting the Qur'an. It is a good thing. Yes.
