Question:
What is the esteemed opinion of the respected scholars on the now customary gathering of people in the masjids on the nights of the two Eids, the 15th of Sha‘ban, the last ten nights of Ramadan and other auspicious nights, to recite the noble Quran, perform dhikr, etc…? Some masjids even make special arrangements for the delivering of lectures on these nights. What is the legal status of these actions?
