Summary
This Bayan Linnas states that, in principle, reciting and studying the Quran in groups is encouraged in Islamic law, citing a hadith narrated by Muslim. The question of fixing a specific time and place is discussed under bidaah idhafiyyah, on which Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah scholars hold differing views. The first view presented holds that a rejected innovation is one that contradicts the religion or lacks support from its general principles and evidences, while a good new matter that does not conflict with the sources is not condemned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, secara asalnya, membaca al-Quran dan bertadarus beramai-ramai adalah digalakkan dalam Syariat.
