Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner, Umm Ibrahim, says: We have a routine, and we have formed a group on our mobile phones to study the Book of Allah, to foster a spirit of competition among us, and to prevent neglecting the Qur'an. In this group, each person reads a part (juz'), and we correspond with one another. What is the Shaykh's opinion on this?
Answer:
What is reported from the Salaf is that they would sit in one place and study the Qur'an. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 1455Sahih (Al-Albani) Sunan Abi Dawud 1455Sahih (Al-Albani) They gather to recite the Qur'an in one place, in one gathering. As for correspondence, I do not see that as appropriate. Yes.

Answer:
What is reported from the Salaf is that they would sit in one place and study the Qur'an. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

ما اجتمع قوم في بيت من بيوت الله يتلونه ويتدارسونه بينهمcalmness (sakinah) comes down to them, (Divine) mercy covers them (from above), and the angels surround them, and Allah makes a mention of them among those who are with Him.
نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَحَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ،
