The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on carrying the Mushaf in the prayer of tahajjud, and is it true that it is a bid'ah (religious innovation)?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not a bid'ah. The claim that it is a bid'ah is the bid'ah. The one who says this is the innovator.
The questioner:
The Mushaf in the prayer of tahajjud.
The Shaykh:
And in tarawih. It is permissible, and this existed in the time of the Salaf (the earliest generations). Aisha used to pray behind her freed slave, Dhikwan, and he would recite from the Mushaf.
