The questioner:
Is it part of the Sunnah for the imam to complete the Qur'an in the loud prayers?
The Shaykh:
His intention is that he continues reading from the beginning of the Qur'an to its end in the prayers. This has no basis in the Sunnah, and it involves excessive effort. It has no basis in the Sunnah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saidSahih Muslim 397a, so this should not be made a regular practice, because it also causes difficulty for the other imams; it puts them in a difficult position. And it establishes a regular practice in leading the prayer that has no basis. Yes.
