He
forbids us to read the Qur.aan before Fajr
*Please appropriately reference

Question:
In our masjid
there is a big shaykh who has a certain opinion; an example
being that he has forbidden us to read the Qur.aan before
Salaat
al-Fajr in the masjid.
He says that this is the time for dhikr (remembrance and supplication)
and not for reading (the Qur.aan). So what is the response
of your Excellency regarding this? May Allaah reward you with
good.
Response:
In the Name of Allaah and all Praise is for Allaah (alone).
There is no harm in reading the Qur.aan at all times of the
prayer. However, if there are people around him praying or
reciting legislated dhikr, then it has been legislated that
he not raise his voice in reading the Qur.aan so as to not
to interfere (with the concentration) of his brothers (in
Islaam). And if he were to abandon reading (the Qur.aan) and
(rather) busied himself with legislated dhikr, then that is
better.
