Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says, and the female questioner says: Shaykh, when we complete the recitation of the Qur'an, we prepare a simple party, we recite the supplication for completing the Qur'an, and we gather our male and female relatives.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. This is a form of encouragement to memorize the Qur'an and to express joy at its memorization. The gathering is for the sake of memorizing the Qur'an, which is a good thing. Also, the supplication for completion: the Companions used to do this. When one of them wanted to complete the Qur'an, he would supplicate, calling his companions and brothers, and they would attend him and supplicate, and they would say "Ameen" to it, so that everyone would receive the reward. This is part of caring for the Qur'an and encouraging those who memorize it. Yes.
