Question:
Are the specific supplications that are designated for the tawaf and distributed or sold to pilgrims or those performing 'Umrah in booklets permissible?
Answer:
Adhering to this is not permissible. Adhering to this specific supplication and believing that it is obligatory, and that every lap has a specific supplication, this is not permissible. A person supplicates with whatever is easy for him, with whatever supplications Allah has made easy for him. He does not restrict himself to a book or to a ritual manual. Rather, he supplicates to Allah with whatever is easy for him. And if he occupies himself with reciting the Qur'an during the tawaf, or with glorifying and declaring the oneness of Allah, that is good. Or if he remains silent, if he performs the tawaf while silent, the entire tawaf while silent, his tawaf is valid; because supplication is recommended, and it is not among the conditions for the validity of the tawaf.
