Combining Supplication and Reciting the Qur'an on the Day of 'Arafah

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding the Prophetic guidance on the Day of 'Arafah, if I start by reciting the Qur'an or if I alternate between supplication and reciting the Qur'an

Answer:
Yes, set aside time for reciting the Qur'an and time for supplication. Especially if you combine the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers, you should devote yourself to supplication during the time of Zuhr until the sun sets; this is better. And if you recite the Qur'an in intervals, there is nothing wrong with it; rather, this is good. It is the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and it is supplication—supplication as an act of worship. Yes.
