Taking a vow of making Khatm of Quraan Sharif
Question
Zaid took a vow, ‘If my work or task is accomplished, then I will make Khatm of Quraan Sharif in congregation.’ If his work is accomplished, then will it be Waajib upon him to gather people to recite Quraan Sharif or not?
Answer
The famous custom of gathering people and making Khatm of the Quraan Sharif is a Bid’at (innovation) which is not permissible. Hence, taking such a vow is not permitted.
