MENGIKUTI KHATAM AL-QURAN DENGAN AMALAN SOLEH
Is it permissible for friends to each read a portion of the Quran separately until it is completed, dedicate it to the deceased, and celebrate with charity?

Dividing the Quran among several participants until it is completed is regarded as a good effort.

Summary
Dividing the Quran among several participants until it is completed is regarded as a good effort. The fatwa suggests that each participant reads their own juz according to a schedule, for example five juz a week, as this is closer to the meaning of completing the Quran. Making supplication after completion is strongly encouraged, and endowing copies of the Quran and feeding birds are good, though feeding the poor and needy is better.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami berpendapat bahawa amalan sedemikian merupakan usaha dan pendekatan yang baik dengan berkumpul membaca al-Quran sehingga khatam.
