The Ruling on Neglecting the Qur'an and Repeating a Surah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Muhammad from the branch says, may Allah preserve you: Is there a specific duration after which a person is considered to have neglected the Qur'an if he stops reading it? And is one excused from neglect if he repeats a memorized surah without looking at the Qur'an?
Answer:
Yes. For a person to leave the Qur'an and not read it is neglecting its recitation, neglecting its recitation, and it is a means to neglecting acting upon the Qur'an and neglecting its reflection. This is a deprivation. The Muslim does not neglect the Qur'an; rather, he allocates a portion of the Qur'an for himself every day until he completes a recitation of the entire Qur'an, and he does not exceed one month. At the very least, he commits to reading one part (juz') of the Qur'an every day until the month passes and he has completed the Qur'an. If he completes it sooner, in ten days to three days, that is better. Whether he reads it in the night prayer and tahajjud, or reads it from the mushaf while sitting, the important thing is that he does not leave the Qur'an. He allocates a share of reciting the Qur'an for himself every day until he completes it. Yes.
