The Ruling on Gathering and Supplicating upon Completing the Recitation of the Qur'an

Question:
This is Umm Salim, and all praise is due to Allah, who has bestowed upon me and my daughters the recitation and memorization of the Qur'an. We complete the recitation of the Qur'an after fifteen days, and we make supplication and bring food, such as cake and some sweets, in the middle of the month to encourage them and to celebrate their completion of the Qur'an.

Answer:
This is a good thing. That is, making supplication upon completing the recitation of the Qur'an, gathering for that purpose, and saying "Ameen" to the supplication: the Salaf used to do this. They would attend the gathering of one who was completing the recitation of the Qur'an, listen to his supplication, and say "Ameen" to it. As for providing some food upon completing the recitation of the Qur'an, in the sense of encouraging students, male and female, to memorize the Qur'an, this is among the permissible things. Yes.
