Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The supplications narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are permissible to be recited by meaning. Is that good for you?
The Shaykh:
If the meaning is memorized, there is no harm. If it is good and the meaning is understood, there is no harm.
The questioner:
One who does not understand is ignorant.
The Shaykh:
No, no. It is better to fix the wording for the people. He holds onto the wording and does not let it go.
