Reading Soorat al-Kahf on Fridays

Is reading Soorat al-Kahf on Friday or the night before a recommended action?.

Praise be to Allaah.

There are marfoo’ ahaadeeth concerning that which support one another and indicate that it is prescribed to read Soorat al-Kahf on Friday.

That was proven to be narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri and the isnaads stop with him. In an issue like this, it cannot be deemed to be his personal opinion; rather he must have learned it from the Prophet (blessing s and peace of Allaah be upon him). End quote.

Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn Baaz (25/196).
