The ruling on reading the supplications of Hajj or 'Umrah directly from a book during tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The sisters say: We read from the book containing the supplications of Hajj and 'Umrah during tawaf and sa'y, and we heard people saying this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Is this correct? If it is correct, is it permissible for us to read any book containing supplications, or to recite the Qur'an, during our tawaf or sa'y? If that is not permissible, then when we recite the Qur'an we have memorized or supplicate with what we wish, we are not as humble as we are when we read from the book. So what should we do? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Supplication during tawaf is recommended (mustahabb) for the prescribed supplications; it is not obligatory, and no specific supplication is required. Rather, every Muslim supplicates with whatever supplications are easy for him. If he has written supplications with him, there is no harm in reading them, because this helps him in his supplication and reminds him of it. However, it should not be done collectively, or with a raised voice that disturbs those performing tawaf. Yes.
