Question:
Finally, Honorable Shaykh, we conclude this session with this. The questioner says: If the one performing 'Umrah or Hajj does not know the transmitted supplications except for a few of them, is it permissible for him to read from books of supplications or write them on a paper and read them during his tawaf and sa'y?
Answer:
What is required in Hajj and 'Umrah is performing the rituals. As for supplication, it is a recommended practice; if it happens, that is good and excellent, but if it does not happen, what is required is performing the rituals. If he performs them as required, his 'Umrah is valid and his Hajj is valid, if Allah wills. However, supplication is among the complements. Yes.
