Summary
This fatwa holds that it is permissible to act upon and make requests through the verses of the Quran in order to obtain the good of this world and the hereafter. Reciting Surah al-Waqiah to gain its virtues and wealth is therefore permissible, based on the hadiths about its merits. The reasoning is that Quran recitation is a righteous deed that may be used as a means of tawassul, and jurists agree it is recommended to seek nearness to God through His names and attributes.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, diharuskan untuk membaca surah al-Waqiah supaya mendapat kelebihan dan kekayaan seperti yang dinyatakan hadis di atas.
