Is Khatm-e-Qur'aan jalsah Sunnat?

Answer

There is no practice of Khatm-e-Qur'aan jalsah in Islam. All such jalsahs are innovations. There is neither origin nor sanction in the Sunnah for these jalsahs. Qur'aan, just as all other acts of Nafl (optional) ibaadat should be recited in the privacy of the home by the individual. It is not permissible to use the Qur'aan for a merry-making function as is the case with all these jalsahs.
