Summary
Completing the Quran does not require a gathering, but a gathering may be held for a specific purpose if certain conditions are met. It must not be regarded as necessary for the reward of recitation, and no specific time, procedure, litany or supplication is fixed, nor is there any special merit in particular food such as yellow glutinous rice. The gathering must be free from showing off, aim to encourage recitation and correct learning, uphold tajwid rules by taking turns if simultaneous reading causes errors, and not disturb others. Merely attending does not earn the reward of reciting the entire Quran.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Asal khatam al-Quran tidak memerlukan majlis kerana apabila seseorang membaca al-Quran dari awal sehingga akhir bermakna dia telah mengkhatamkan al-Quran.
