Reciting the Qur'an in the obligatory prayers from the beginning of the mushaf for review
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an in the obligatory prayers from the beginning of the mushaf to the end for the purpose of review?
Answer:
What is the evidence for this? There is no report that the imam recites the Qur'an from its beginning and continues until he completes it in the tarawih. This is reported for the tarawih, which is the night prayer. As for the obligatory prayers, this has not been reported for them.
We should not introduce something new, and then it becomes a sunnah, and people think it is obligatory. It turns into something they believe is obligatory. We should not start things that were not reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This may put people in a difficult position; they think they must recite the entire Qur'an in the obligatory prayer, and they cannot do so, so we put them in a difficult position. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and Allah the Exalted says, "Recite whatever is easy for you," and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saidSunan Abi Dawud 2111Sahih (Al-Albani), Sunan an-Nasa'i 1136Sahih (Darussalam). Even if there is leeway in the beginning, as time passes and more imams do this, people think it is obligatory, which puts them in a difficult position in the future. The one who started this thing is the cause, and the religion is easy, praise be to Allah. We do not do anything except what has evidence for it. As long as the matter is easy and simple for people, we do not go and start something that is hard for them.
