The minimum time in which the Qur'an is completed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: What is the minimum time in which the Qur'an is completed?
A: There is no fixed limit, except that it is better not to read it in less than three days, as in the hadith of Abdullah ibn Amr:Sunan Abi Dawud 1390Sahih (Al-Albani).
So it is better to seek humility, measured recitation, and reflection in his reading, and the goal is not haste, but rather that he benefits.
It is recommended to read the Qur'an frequently in Ramadan, as the Salaf did, but with reflection and understanding. If one completes a recitation of the Qur'an every three days, that is good. Some of the Salaf said that the times of virtue are an exception to this, and that there is no harm in completing a recitation every night, or every day, as they mentioned this regarding al-Shafi'i and others.
But the apparent Sunnah is that there is no difference between Ramadan and other times, and that he should not hasten, and that he should be at ease in his reading, and that he should recite with measured pace, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded Abdullah ibn Amr, saying:, and this was the last thing he commanded him to do, and he said: Sunan Abi Dawud 1390Sahih (Al-Albani), and he did not say: "except in Ramadan," so some of the Salaf applying this to times other than Ramadan is a matter of consideration.
And the closest view—may Allah know best—is that it is prescribed for the believer to care for the Qur'an, and to strive to perfect his recitation, reflect on the Qur'an, and attend to the meanings, and not to hasten. And it is better not to complete it in less than three days; this is what is appropriate according to what the Sunnah has brought, even in Ramadan.

He who finishes the recitation of the Qur'an in less than three days does not understand it.
لا يفقه مَن قرأه في أقل من ثلاثٍSo it is better to seek humility, measured recitation, and reflection in his reading, and the goal is not haste, but rather that he benefits.

اقرأه في سبعٍHe who finishes the recitation of the Qur'an in less than three days does not understand it.
