What is the ruling on the prayer for completing the Qur'an, and does the follower follow the imam in this or not?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The honorable Shaykh says, the questioner has asked this question frequently regarding the prayer for completing the Qur'an, and whether the one who is praying sits during it? Or what does he do? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : What is fitting for the Muslim is not to deviate from his Muslim brothers. So if he prays in a mosque where there is a completion of the Qur'an, let him follow, because this matter is one in which people have differed. And as some scholars said, the ruling of the ruler removes the disagreement. So as long as the imam of the mosque sees that he should recite the completion of the Qur'an when it is finished, follow him, and there is no blame on you in this. Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : That is enough, good, and it ends here.
