The ruling on raising the voice in supplication during tawaf

Question:
It is also observed that people raise their voices in supplication during tawaf, both for those circumambulating the Ka'bah and those in the sa'y area. What is the ruling on this, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
This is a mistake and an error. Raising the voice in tawaf is one of the mistakes committed by some of those performing tawaf, because this is something that did not come from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), nor from his Companions, that they raised their voices in supplication during tawaf. Rather, the servant supplicates in secret between himself and his Lord, so as not to disturb the other people performing tawaf around him. Also, what happens with collective supplication, where one person supplicates and then a group supplicates with his supplication and repeats it with him, this is not among the etiquettes of supplication. This is an innovated characteristic in supplication. What is prescribed is that every person supplicates for himself, separately from the others, with whatever types of supplication are easy for him. Yes.
