The Ruling on Varying the Opening Supplications
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is Abu Ahmad. He says: Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, regarding the forms of the opening supplication (du'a al-istiftah), am I obligated to use one specific form if that is the only one I have memorized, or may I vary them?
Answer:
If you have only memorized one, use that one. If you have memorized several opening supplications, then using one this time and another the next time, and so on, is good.
