Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From Kuwait, the listening sister Badriyah al-Mutayri sent a message containing some questions, one of which says: Is it permissible to say: Truthful is Allah, the Magnificent, after finishing the recitation of the Noble Qur'an?
Answer:
This has no basis; people do it, but it has no basis in the Shari'ah, and we know no evidence for it, so leaving it off is better and safer; because it was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or from the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) that when they finished the recitation they would say: Truthful is Allah, the Magnificent. Acts of worship are based on specific evidence, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the authentic hadithSahih Muslim 1718b So what I advise is to leave that off. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

He who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.
