Traveling to Attend the Completion of the Qur'an in the Two Sacred Mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother Abdullah from Riyadh says: It is the custom of my brother, O Shaykh, to travel to Makkah al-Mukarramah and al-Madinah al-Munawwarah with the intention of attending the completion of the Qur'an, even though he has a mosque and a congregation with whom he prays. What is the best course of action for him?
Answer:
One does not travel for the sake of attending the khatmah; rather, one travels for the sake of praying in al-Masjid al-Haram and al-Masjid al-Nabawi, because a prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram is worth a hundred thousand prayers, and a prayer in al-Masjid al-Nabawi is worth a thousand prayers. So he should intend in his travel to pray in the two mosques. As for the khatmah, it is not prescribed to travel for its sake, nor is it recommended to travel for its sake. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
