Question:
What is the amount of the portion (hizb) that is read from the Qur'an?
Answer:
There is no fixed limit; it is according to what is easy for you. However, it should be completed every month, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Abdullah ibn Amr:Sahih Ibn Hibban 7:151. And if he read it in less time, in twenty days, in ten days, or in seven days, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Abdullah: Sahih al-Bukhari 5054. The minimum is seven days; this is better. And if he reads it in less than that, there is no harm.
But the best is seven days or more; so that he reads with deliberation, reflection, and understanding.
And if he divides it into portions, as the Companions used to do, they would divide it into portions and complete it in every week:
The first portion is three surahs: al-Baqarah, al-Nisa, and Aal Imran.
The second portion is five.
The third portion is seven.
The fourth portion is nine.
The fifth portion is eleven.
The sixth portion is thirteen.
The last portion is the portion of al-Mufassal, from Qaf to the end.
