Summary
By default the Quran is not recited in unison as a congregation, but it is permitted for purposes such as learning, improving recitation or memorisation. It should not be done continuously and should be alternated with other methods so that it is not mistaken for a religious requirement. It is prohibited if it causes recitation errors, disturbs people worshipping in the mosque, or leads people to believe it carries a special merit. Gathering to recite and study the Quran is a recommended sunnah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Namun bacaan dengan suara serentak dibolehkan jika bertujuan untuk belajar dan mengelokkan bacaan seperti seorang membaca dan diikuti oleh orang lain, atau mereka yang mahir sama-sama membaca bagi tujuan hafazan.
