The Time for Reciting Surat al-Kahf on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks about Surat al-Kahf. He says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, is it read on Friday at the beginning of the day or at the end? And if one reads a portion of the surah, is that sufficient?
Answer:
There are hadiths regarding the recitation of Surat al-Kahf on Friday. Although they are not strong, they support one another, indicating that it is recommended to recite the surah on this day. No specific time of the day was designated; the important thing is that it is recited on Friday, whether at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end. Reciting only a part of the surah is not sufficient, because one who recites a part of it is not said to have recited Surat al-Kahf; rather, it is said that he recited a part of the surah.
