Summary
Completing the Quran during Ramadan is encouraged as the practice of the Prophet and the righteous predecessors, but it is recommended (sunnah) and not obligatory. There is no specific command from the Shariah that makes it compulsory. A person who is able but does not complete it commits no sin, though he misses out on great reward. The fatwa encourages completing it at least once, or more if able.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Walau bagaimanapun, tiada perintah atau arahan yang khusus daripada syarak yang berbentuk wajib untuk kita mengkhatamkan al-Quran di bulan Ramadan.
