What is the ruling on gathering in mosques after Maghrib to recite Surat Yasin in congregation every Friday night, given its special status among the Malay people?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Reciting the Quran collectively is not from the practice of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) nor his Companions, and it is a reprehensible innovation (bid'ah mardudah), based on his (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever introduces into this affair of ours that which does not belong to it, it is to be rejected." Moreover, the narrations concerning the virtues of Surat Ya-Sin are weak or fabricated.
