Is beginning with the recitation of the Quran followed by its interpretation (tafsir) in study circles that cover multiple branches of religion, such as tafsir, fiqh, and seerah, considered an innovative addition (bid‘ah idafiyah)? This is given that it is started with each time out of reverence for the word of Allah. If so, how can it be avoided if it is widespread? And is presenting the Quran in every matter, such as reciting verses before supplications in morning and evening adhkar, considered an act of reverence for it?
