The ruling on increasing the seeking of forgiveness after the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
So they sent the house after every right ninety times. Is this the solution?
Answer:
The prescribed seeking of forgiveness after the prayer is three times, and this is how it was done; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it. If you want to increase your seeking of forgiveness, do so in other places, not in this place, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not increase it beyond three times. Then you proceed to the remembrances reported after the prayer. As for if you occupy yourself with seeking forgiveness, you will leave the remembrances that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed for this occasion. As for seeking forgiveness, the door is open; seek forgiveness night and day without a limit. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
