Question

How often should a Hafiz make a Khatam?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh

It is Mustahabb for a Hafidhul Quran to at least complete one Quran Khatam(completion) every 40 days.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
