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
