The supplications attributed to some scholars of Islam: Is it permissible for a person to memorize them, recite them, or recite any other supplication?

Question:
He asks about the supplications attributed to some scholars of Islam. Shaykh Fahd, is it possible for him to memorize them, recite them, or recite any other supplication?

Answer:
A person is not restricted to the supplications mentioned by some scholars; rather, he should supplicate with whatever is facilitated for him from the supplications found in the Book and the Sunnah, as well as supplications that do not contradict what is found in the Book and the Sunnah, even if their exact wording is not found in the Book and the Sunnah. A person must supplicate with what is facilitated for him, on the condition that it does not contradict the Book and the Sunnah. For example, if the supplication involves transgressing against someone without right, or if it contains shirk (associating partners with Allah), or severing family ties, or the like, then it is not permissible. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: Transgression in supplication is forbidden. This includes supplicating against a person who does not deserve such supplication, for that is injustice, or asking for something that is not fitting for him, such as asking for the rank of the prophets or to be in the station of the prophets. This is something that no one deserves except the prophets (peace and blessings be upon them). Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
