Setting a specific time for daily self-accounting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Some young men, Honorable Shaykh, set aside an hour or half an hour at the end of their day for self-accounting. One of them sits with himself and recalls what good deeds he did and what sins he committed. Is this from the way of the Salaf?
Answer:
Setting a specific time for self-accounting is not from the way of the Salaf. One should hold oneself accountable at all times, at all times of the night and day, and not restrict it to a specific hour. Yes.
