Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is putting supplication to melody and reciting it in a rhythmic manner considered a religious innovation (bid'ah)?

Answer:
The important thing is that a person supplicates to Allah, or that you are arguing about how to harm, this is rhythmic recitation and I do not know how to [handle it]. Leave this alone, supplicate to Allah, and let people supplicate to Allah the Exalted. Do not disappoint them, and do not let there be argument over these matters.
