Is it prescribed to recite the entire Qur'an to the congregation in the Fajr prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it prescribed to recite the entire Qur'an to the congregation in the Fajr prayer, starting from the beginning?

Answer:
No, Imam Ahmad forbade this. This also causes hardship for the imams, as not all of them can bear this, and it is a hardship for the ma'mums as well. The Salaf did not do this. This is in Ramadan, in the tarawih prayer. But it is strange that those who recite the Qur'an in the Fajr prayer and complete it do not recite it in the tarawih prayer, even though the Sunnah is to recite from the beginning to the end in the tarawih prayer.
