Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it true that reciting Surat al-Kahf on Friday is not a recommended practice, and that no authentic hadith exists regarding this?
Answer:
The hadiths on this are weak, but they say that they support one another. So if one does it, there is no blame on him, and if he leaves it, there is no blame on him. The matter is easy in this. The one who holds that it is not a recommended practice does not recite it, and the one who holds that it is a recommended practice recites it. Yes. And there is leeway in this. Yes.
