Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a student in the middle school stage. He says: About three years ago, O Shaykh, I participated in a competition for memorizing the Noble Qur'an, in the branch for thirty parts. But in reality, I had not yet completed three parts, yet I succeeded and won first place. What is the ruling on the prize I took? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
If the prize is for memorizing the Qur'an in its entirety, and you still have three parts remaining, then you do not deserve this prize, and it is not permissible for you; because it is conditioned upon memorizing the Qur'an in its entirety. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
