The Imam’s continuous recitation from the Qur’an in the Fajr prayer

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for the imam to recite continuously in the Fajr prayer, starting with Surat al-Baqarah on the first day and then continuing from there?

Answer:
This is a practice introduced by some people, and it is an evil religious innovation (bid’ah). People take it as a recommended practice (sunnah), and it makes things difficult for the imams. This is not done except in Ramadan and in the late-night voluntary prayer (tahajjud); it is not done in the obligatory prayers. If you start the Qur’an from the beginning and finish it from the end, this is a practice that the Salaf (the earliest generations) did not follow, and it puts the imams in a difficult position. Not everyone is able to do this. Yes.
And it is strange that they are eager to recite the entire Qur’an in the obligatory prayers, but they do not do so in Ramadan. In Ramadan, they do not finish the Qur’an in the tarawih prayers. Some of them reach the middle, and some are still at the beginning of the Qur’an. It is all due to weakness and laziness. So they abandon the recommended practice (sunnah) and do something other than the sunnah. Yes.
