Is it obligatory for the imam to complete the recitation of the Qur'an in the congregation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah reward you with good. Honorable Shaykh, is it obligatory for the imam in the mosque to complete the recitation of the entire Qur'an in his congregation?

Answer : He is not required to do that; rather, he should recite whatever is easy for him from the beginning, the end, or the middle of the Qur'an. It does not matter whether he completes the Qur'an or not; the important thing is that his recitation involves reflection, humility, and avoiding haste and causing hardship for the people.
