The Ruling on Group Recitation of the Qur'an and Group Prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In our country, the imam recites with the congregation, and they recite a portion daily after the Maghrib and Fajr prayers in a shared voice. When they reach the prostration of recitation, they all prostrate. Is this prescribed?
Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Group recitation, and they make it a habit and persist in it; this is a bid'ah. After the obligatory prayers or otherwise, if they make this a habit. Yes.
