Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Also, among her questions, she says: What is the best dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that I must adhere to, O Shaykh?
Answer:
It is not obligatory for one to adhere to any specific dhikr. Dhikr is recommended (mustahabb), except for what is in the prayer: "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord, the Supreme) in the bowing, "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) in the prostration, and "Rabbighfir li" (My Lord, forgive me) between the two prostrations. This is obligatory among the obligations of the prayer. As for dhikr outside of the prayer, it is not obligatory; rather, it is recommended. The reciter
