What is the ruling on completing the recitation of the Qur'an in the loud prayers, where a certain amount is read from it each day with the people?

Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh Salim says: Some imams read the Qur'an from its beginning to its end in the loud prayers, reading a specific amount from it each day until they complete it with the people. This practice takes them about eight months to a year. Some say that this action by the imam is an innovation (bid'ah). What is the correct view on this?

Answer:
It is better to avoid this, because it is not reported from the Salaf that they used to continue reading the Qur'an from its beginning to its end in the obligatory prayer. And introducing something that the Salaf did not do is feared to be an innovation.
We are not more eager for good or quicker to do good than the righteous predecessors, so it is better to avoid this practice. One should recite whatever is easy for him of the Qur'an, either from the final third (al-Musaffaf), which is better, or from the rest of the Qur'an whatever is easy for him. He should not arrange it in a specific order from the beginning of the mushaf to the end, for there is a fear that this may be an innovation (bid'ah) or resemble an innovation. Also, there is a fear that this will become established among the people as a recommended practice (sunnah). They will think it is a sunnah, believing it to be a sunnah when it is not, and this will be difficult for the people and for the imams. It will be adopted as a sunnah, which causes hardship. The religion is one of ease, and praise be to Allah. So it is better to avoid it.
This thing, and that a person reads in the Fajr prayer whatever is easy without arrangement. This is only in the tarawih prayer in Ramadan. The scholars mentioned that it is recommended (mustahabb) for him to let the ma'mumin hear the Qur'an from its beginning to its end. And this is what the Companions used to do. They used to complete the recitation of the Qur'an in the tarawih and tahajjud in Ramadan, and let the ma'mumin hear the Qur'an from its beginning to its end. This is in the tarawih. And for the one who has night prayer in other than Ramadan, and who stands in the night, there is no harm if he arranges it and completes the Qur'an once every month, once every ten nights, once every three nights, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr to that. This is in the night prayer, meaning he continues the Qur'an and completes it.
But the strange thing is that some of our imams reverse it. They are slow to complete the Qur'an in the tarawih in Ramadan, and they make it easy to complete it in the obligatory prayers. This is strange. So it is better, as we mentioned, for this to be in the night prayer. As for the obligatory prayers, one reads whatever is easy, to make it easy for the people and to make it easy for the imams, and so that it is not thought to be a sunnah, which would be difficult for the people. Yes.
