Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A Allocating a Juz’ to Members of a Whatsapp Qur’an Reading Group

A friend of mine has started a group on WhatsApp whereby a group

of sisters are allocated a Jews of the Quran to read every week. And

the aim is at one column be completed and the reward for the

benefit of those who passed away. Can you please state if this is

okay to participate in, participate in our listen to your,

your clip on using WhatsApp to benefit the dead, but just wanted

to make sure that the allocation of a Jews as opposed to choice, I

don't think Jews should be allocated because that is then

seen as soft pressure or pressure? And then everybody's gonna say why

didn't you do it? So I think it would be wrong to allocate unless

everybody's willing and say you just give it to us. One has to

understand that while this is this can be a good thing. If any kind

of force is applied, in this case, any kind of pressure that somebody

do this choose and why didn't do it and all the rest of it, then

that would become wrong, because you can't obligate somebody to do

something that is not obligate obligatory. It's an optional

thing. So one has to be very careful about that. So I would, I

would say that don't allocate unless everybody's willing clearly

and you believe that they're willing to be allocated, just let

them choose and let them stay out of it for one week if they want

to. And there should be no obligation whatsoever. You can

encourage but you can't, you can't obligate So, rather than

allocation, let it be choice
