What is the ruling on Qur’an bearers gathering together on occasions such as births and weddings to collectively recite the Qur’an, glorify Allah, and engage in remembrance with neighbors and friends, and has this become necessary?

A Muslim must believe that the guidance of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is the best guidance, and that he guided us to all good and warned us from all evil, in accordance with his saying: "There was no prophet before me but it was incumbent upon him to guide his nation to the best of what he knew for them, and to warn them against the worst of what he knew for them." There is no path that leads to Allah except his path, peace and blessings be upon him. He is the first to open the gate of Paradise, and Allah has made him an excellent example for us. Every act of worship must conform to what he legislated; otherwise, it is rejected for its doer, due to his saying, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever performs an action that is not in accordance with our command, it will be rejected." An act of worship that deviates only increases its doer in distance. The collective acts of worship mentioned (such as dhikr and recitation after birth and marriage) were not reported from the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him. If there had been any good in them, he would have guided us to it. Thus, they are innovations that must be abandoned, and one should worship Allah only according to what He has legislated.
