Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Reciting the Qur'an in Ramadan and the ruling associated with it. Is one complete recitation sufficient for one who reads with contemplation, reflection, and deliberation?
Answer:
One complete recitation is sufficient, but his reward is less; he will have only the reward of one recitation, whereas the Salaf (the earliest generations) used to complete the recitation of the Qur'an, some of them every three days, some every ten days, and some would perhaps complete it in one night, like the Caliph of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), 'Uthman ibn 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). They would rejoice in this month because of the good and blessings in it and the expiation of sins. That is how they rejoiced in the month of Ramadan, seizing the opportunity of its times. Yes.
