The question

Is it permissible to read "مغيب الشمس" (the setting of the sun) instead of "مغرب الشمس" (the going down of the sun) in verse 86 of Surat Al-Kahf, based on hearing it from a well-known reciter?

The answer

The 86th verse of Al-Kahf is: "Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. We said, 'O Dhul-Qarnayn, either punish them or treat them with kindness.'" There is no recitation of "maghib al-shams" (the disappearance of the sun) in the widely transmitted Qira'at (readings).
