Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on reciting multiple of the reported dhikr (remembrance of Allah) for a single pillar of the prayer, such as the opening supplication (du'a al-istiftah), by reciting three of the reported opening supplications at the beginning of the prayer after the takbir al-ihram (opening takbir), on the grounds of increasing khushu' (humility) in the prayer?
Answer:
No, one does not combine the different types of reported opening supplications in a single prayer. Rather, one recites one opening supplication, and in the second prayer, one recites the other opening supplication, and so on. As for combining the opening supplications in a single prayer, this has not been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
