Summary
The kaffarah al-majlis supplication at the end of a gathering is established and encouraged through authentic hadith. Reciting Surah al-‘Asr has no specific narration from the Prophet, but it was practised by some companions to honour the gathering and accords with the call to observe proper etiquette in gatherings.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
