The ruling on completing the recitation of the Qur'an in the obligatory prayers

Question:
We conclude this session with a question from one of the brothers. The questioner insisted that we present it to Your Eminence. He says: Shaykh Salih, the imam of the mosque leads us in completing the recitation of the entire Qur'an, and this is in other than Ramadan, where he recites it in the obligatory prayers. For example, we complete it in Sha'ban and Rajab. What is Shaykh Salih's opinion on this?

Answer:
There is no basis for that, and it is an error. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do that, nor did any of the righteous Salaf, to complete the recitation of the Qur'an in the obligatory prayers. This causes hardship for the Muslims, because it may become a practice that the ignorant think is prescribed, and this makes things difficult for the people. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: from it Does this action not cause hardship for the people? Yes.
