What is the ruling on one who reads the Qur'an outside of prayer and reads with it the name of the surah, whether it is Meccan or Medinan, and the number of its verses?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says: I inform you that some people read after every surah, meaning after finishing the surah, "Surah so-and-so, Meccan or Medinan." For example, "Surah al-An'am is Meccan, and it has one hundred and sixty-seven verses," and so on for all the readers. The question is: Is there any harm in this or not?
Do you mean in the prayer? Do they say it in the prayer?
The questioner : Yes?
The Shaykh : Do they say this in the prayer?
The questioner : No, in the recitation.
The Shaykh : Do they think that this is Qur'an and they do not want clarification?
The questioner : I do not know.
The Shaykh : In any case, if they want clarification, there is nothing wrong with it. But if they think that it is part of the Qur'an, that is a mistake on their part, because these clarifications are written in a special frame. How can you read them with the Qur'an?
They inform that it is not part of the Qur'an.
