The Ruling on Completing the Recitation of the Qur'an in the Obligatory Prayers with Audible Recitation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an from its beginning in the obligatory prayers with audible recitation by the imam until he completes the Qur'an with them over a period of two or three months?

Answer:
Among their marvels is that now they complete the recitation of the Qur'an in Ramadan, which is the place for completing the recitation of the Qur'an, and they complete it in the obligatory prayers, even though it was not reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Glory be to Allah, this is something that was not reported from the Messenger, and it causes embarrassment for the people praying behind the imam.
And in it, perhaps, there will come a time when the imam who does not complete the Qur'an in the obligatory prayers is removed from the imamate. This is not right. We do not innovate anything. We do not innovate anything. There is no evidence for it, and it is not from the practice of the Salaf. This is an innovated matter. An innovated matter. Whoever innovates in our religion what is not part of it, it is rejected. And among the marvels is that they do not complete the recitation of the Qur'an in the tarawih prayer, but they complete it in the obligatory prayers, even though it was not reported that it is completed in the obligatory prayers. Yes.
