What is the ruling on forming a group to encourage one another to read a daily portion of the Qur'an?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: There is a group of sisters who have joined groups, which are free mobile phone messages. One of the sisters sends a message to the sisters participating in these messages daily, containing one or two pages of the Qur'an, in order to encourage this group to read the Qur'an. The one who reads this daily amount sends a message to the person in charge of this group stating that she has read this page, and this is not obligatory, but rather for the sake of cooperation and encouraging good. Is this action permissible?

Answer:
It appears to me that it is permissible. This is like what happened to Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was gathering pebbles and there were people with him, and he said, "Recite the remembrance of Allah one hundred times, and say Allahu Akbar one hundred times," and he was rebuked for that. He was rebuked for that, so one should not innovate. Matters start out easy by giving people time, but they develop, so this should not be adopted. Teaching the Qur'an is, praise be to Allah, widespread and disseminated, and this method is not for it. Yes.
