The ruling on collective supplication with a loud voice during tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on those who perform tawaf while someone leads them, reciting supplications, and they repeat after him in a loud voice? Is this action permissible?
Answer:
No, where did this come from? Because it is an innovation. It is prescribed to make supplication individually during tawaf, with each person supplicating for himself with what Allah has made easy for him. If one occupies himself with dhikr, tasbih, tahlil, takbir, or reciting the Qur'an, that is better. As for them making it like hymns, with one person supplicating and the rest repeating what he says, and they do not even understand it—many of them do not understand what they are saying—this has no basis.
