If I have already read up to the 15th juz of the Quran before Ramadan, is it better to continue my reading or restart from the beginning so that I can complete it during Ramadan?
Short answer
A person who habitually recites the Quran in sequence from start to finish in ordinary months is advised to continue in that order when Ramadan arrives.

Summary
A person who habitually recites the Quran in sequence from start to finish in ordinary months is advised to continue in that order when Ramadan arrives. There is no need to restart, since there is no specific command making a full completion in Ramadan obligatory, and the encouragement to complete it is only recommended. However, recitation in Ramadan should be increased compared with other months, and completing the Quran more than once, if able, is better.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam situasi ini, lebih baik seseorang menyambung bacaannya secara berturutan itu apabila tiba bulan Ramadan. Tiada keperluan untuknya untuk memulakan semula bacaan daripada awal.
