Question:
Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: There is a custom among some people in our lands where, when they supplicate to Allah, they say "O Latif, O Latif," and they repeat it dozens of times, sometimes reaching a hundred times. Is this supplication permissible?
Answer:
Yes, this is supplication to Allah by His name, one of His names. However, doing it with a collective voice is a bid'ah (religious innovation), and repeating it with collective voices is a bid'ah. But if a person repeats it to himself, there is no harm in that. Also, setting a specific number requires evidence. Yes.
