The questioner : Is reading Surat al-Kahf on Friday and its night a recommended act?
The Shaykh : Yes, reading Surat al-Kahf on Friday is a recommended act, and there is virtue in it. There is no difference in this between a person reading it from the mushaf or from memory. The legal day begins from the appearance of the dawn until the setting of the sun. Accordingly, if a person reads it after the Friday prayer, he attains the reward. This is unlike the ghusl on Friday, for the ghusl is performed before the prayer because it is a ghusl for the prayer, and thus it precedes it.
