Question:
From the Syrian Arab Republic, the listener Hammad al-Suwaydi al-'Ali sends a message. In his first question, he asks: Is it permissible to leave the Qur'an in the house without reading from it? I have a mushaf in my house, and I do not read from it more than once a month. Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
We do not know of any harm in that, if there is a mushaf in the house that you read from whenever it is convenient. However, it is better for you to increase your reading every day, even if it is a small amount. Read even a little every day, an eighth, a twelfth, according to what is easy for you. You should do this, my brother! And every Muslim for whom Allah has made the Qur'an easy should read what is convenient for him, every day, even if it is a little. And if it is convenient, he should complete a recitation of the entire Qur'an every month, or every forty days, or every twenty days, or every week. All of this is good.
The point is that if Allah grants a believer the ability to memorize the Qur'an, or to read it from a written copy, and likewise a believing woman, each of them should strive for this. Every letter is a good deed, and a good deed is multiplied tenfold. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:.
So you should, O Abdullah! And likewise you, O servant of Allah! Increase in reading the Qur'an, whether from memory or from the mushaf, every day, even if it is a small amount, at night or during the day. One page, two pages, three pages, an eighth, a twelfth, more or less. A little with a little becomes much. And the believer and the believing woman should have a portion to read every day, or every night, even if it is a little. And a complete recitation once a month, or once in two months, or once in forty days, or once in twenty days, or once a week, according to what is easy for them. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
