Does a pilgrim who does not memorize the supplications and dhikr hire a guide to make du'a for him?

Question : The questioner says: If the one performing 'Umrah knows only some of the simple supplications, is it permissible for him to take someone to lead him in tawaf and make supplication for him?

Answer : We say that the one performing 'Umrah, and the one performing Hajj as well, is sufficient to have the supplications he knows. Because the supplications he knows and makes, knowing their meaning, and asks Allah the Exalted for his needs in them, are sufficient.
As for taking a book or a guide who teaches him what he does not know, that will not benefit you. Many people follow the guide, who is provided with what to say, and they do not know the meaning of what they are saying. And many people take these booklets and read them without knowing their meaning.
These booklets, which contain a specific supplication for each lap, are among the bid'ah (religious innovations) that are not permissible for a Muslim to use, because they are misguidance. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify a new supplication for each lap for his Ummah. Rather, he said (peace and blessings be upon him): And if that is the case,
then it is obligatory for the believer to be cautious of these booklets. Yes. And to ask Allah for the need he desires. And to remember Allah the Exalted with what he is able to, and with what he knows. That is better for him than using these booklets, which he may not know the meaning of, or even the wording of. Yes. Our uncle is with us. Yes. He says he reads the Qur'an. He remembers Allah as he wishes.
