The ruling on reciting Surat al-Kahf on the night of Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on reciting Surat al-Kahf on the night of Friday and on the day itself?
Answer:
There are hadiths regarding the recitation of Surat al-Kahf on Friday that are not free from weakness, but some scholars have mentioned that they support one another and are suitable for use as evidence. It is established from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to do this.
So acting upon this is good; following the example of the noble Companion (may Allah be pleased with him), and acting upon the hadiths mentioned; because they support one another, and the action of the aforementioned Companion supports them.
As for reciting it on the night of Friday, I do not know of any evidence for it, and thus it becomes clear that it is not prescribed. And success is from Allah.
