The Ruling on Reciting the Daily Portion Collectively
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, who has indicated his name with the letter Alif, asks: Regarding the recitation of the daily portion (al-wird) in a group, is there any issue with that, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
Yes, this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). The daily portion, the dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and doing it collectively—this is a bid'ah. As for dhikr where individuals each remember Allah to themselves, without it being collective, that is what is reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
