Supplication and Saying "Ameen" When Completing the Recitation of the Qur'an in a Study Circle

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, there is a circle for reciting the Noble Qur'an for adults in one of the mosques, and they have requested supplication when completing the recitation of the Qur'an. If one of them makes a supplication and the others say "Ameen" behind him, is this a religious innovation (bid'ah)?

Answer:
No, supplication when completing the recitation of the Qur'an is not a religious innovation (bid'ah); rather, it is one of the occasions for the acceptance of supplication. The Companions used to gather when one of them wanted to complete the recitation of the Qur'an; they would gather, and he would make a supplication while they said "Ameen" to his supplication, hoping for it to be answered.
