The ruling on reciting the Qur'an and making supplication during tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Which is better, reciting the Qur'an during tawaf or making supplication? And what is the supplication that is sought?
Answer:
It is all the same; one may recite the Qur'an, make supplication, or remain silent. It is not obligatory. Supplication is not a condition for tawaf; it is a recommended practice (sunnah). If one does it, whether he supplicates, recites the Qur'an, or engages in tasbih, tahlil, and dhikr, all of this is permissible, if Allah wills, and it is all beneficial and carries reward. Yes.
