Aayatul Kareemah khatams
Q: What is the status of Aayatul Kareema Khatams? The Aayatul Kareema zikr is recited many thousands of times at these khatams. Sometimes a hall is hired for these khatams and invitations are sent out encouraging women to attend. I have faith in zikr, but are these khatams established from the Sunnah?
Eating at khatams
