Reciting the Qur'an in the obligatory prayers from the beginning of the mushaf to the end for review
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an in the obligatory prayers from the beginning of the mushaf to the end for the sake of review?
Answer:
There is no report of this. There is no report that the imam, may Allah have mercy on him, starts the Qur'an from the beginning and continues until he finishes it in the tarawih. Is there a report regarding tarawih or the night prayer? As for the obligatory prayers, there is no report of this, and we should not innovate anything. Then it becomes a sunnah that people think is obligatory; it turns into something they believe is obligatory. We should not start things that were not reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This might cause difficulty for people; they think they must recite the entire Qur'an in the prayer, and they cannot do so, so we cause them hardship.
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 2111Sahih (Al-Albani) This will lead them astray in the future, and the one who started this thing from the beginning will be the cause. We do not do anything except what has evidence for it. And since the matter is easy and simple for people, we do not go and start something that is difficult for us.
