Question:
And what is the ruling on what some imams do in the way of supplication at the completion of the Qur'an, where some say that it is a bid'ah (religious innovation)?
Answer:
Supplication at the completion of the Qur'an is prescribed. The righteous Salaf (earliest generations) used to do it, and the Muslims have inherited it from generation to generation, and from the later generations (Khalaf) from the earlier ones (Salaf). So there is no blame on that. Anas used to gather his family when he completed the recitation, and he would read and supplicate. If he did it in the prayer, or outside the prayer, it is all good, and it is all fine; because it is what the Muslims have agreed upon, and the Muslims have inherited it from the time of the Companions to this day. Yes.
