Question
Is it permissible to create a whatsapp group for making khatam of the Qur'aan Shareef? Reciters will be allocated a certain numbers of paras.
Answer
It is not permissible to create a whatsapp group for Qur'aan Khatams. It is a bid'ah. In fact, it is not permissible to invite people to even one's home for a Qur'aan Khatam. It is an act of riya (show), and a mockery of the Qur'aan Majeed. Whoever wishes to recite the Qur'aan should do so unostentatiously, and recite as much as he/she wishes.
