Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on honoring one who has memorized the Qur'an by holding a dinner or lunch party for him?
Answer:
Well, this is encouragement. This falls under the category of encouragement, and under the category of rejoicing in the blessing of Allah[Yunus 10:58]. He is better than what they gather. So rejoicing in the Qur'an, teaching the Qur'an, memorizing the Qur'an, and holding a feast—encouragement and memorization—all of this is good, because it is encouragement to seek knowledge and to memorize the Qur'an. Yes.
