Is reciting Surat Al-Baqarah every Friday considered a Bid‘ah (innovation in religion), even without believing in a special virtue for it on this day, but rather to maintain its recitation?

The answer

The virtue of Surat Al-Baqarah and its recitation is established in the Sunnah, and it is recommended to recite it frequently without being restricted by a specific manner, time, or number that is not mentioned in the Sunnah. Adhering to its recitation on Friday is not proven, and the narrated hadith regarding the virtue of reciting it on Friday is very weak. There is no harm in reciting it on Friday or holidays if time is only available for its recitation on these days.
