Supplication or Reciting the Qur'an during Tawaf and Sa'y
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it better to be occupied with reciting the Qur'an during tawaf and sa'y?
Answer:
I say, in the first place, that supplication is better. If one recites the Qur'an, there is no harm, because the Qur'an is a form of dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and one who supplicates to Allah during tawaf... the Qur'an has another time for it, and reciting the Qur'an has another time for it. But supplication during tawaf is missed if one does not do it. Yes.
