Summary
Gathering for and attending a Quran completion gathering is regarded as recommended (sunat) by the scholars. This is based on the reports of the early generations, including Anas bin Malik RA, who gathered his children and family to supplicate after completing the Quran, and Mujahid, who gathered people because supplication is answered at the completion. Imam al-Nawawi stated that attending such a gathering is recommended, and the ruling advises increasing supplication then as it is among the times when prayers are answered.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, kami nyatakan bahawa disunatkan untuk menghadiri majlis khatam al-Quran serta memperbanyakkan berdoa di waktu tersebut kerana itu adalah di antara waktu yang mustajab.
