The ruling on adopting specific daily recitations (awrad) as a fixed routine
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding our brother Jamal al-Harthy. Okay.
The Shaykh : Let our Shaykh, may Allah preserve him, hear this word if he has not yet delivered it.
The questioner : The brother Rajman.
The Shaykh : Regarding our brother Jamal al-Harthy, it appears that due to the large number of letters I have, I had intended to write him a reply, but I have not yet been able to do so. Please convey to him that my opinion fully matches his regarding the book he referred to, which is that it is not permissible to adopt those specific recitations (awrad) as a fixed routine, as the author of that book did. However, I add to what al-Harthy said something we have always stated, and especially you and Abu Layla have heard me say this more than once: we do not advise these young men to gather up the efforts of others from here and there and read a book, because the one who authored on this subject and is a specialist in it is sufficient, and in him is goodness and blessing. So this is conveyed to our brother al-Harthy, if Allah wills. May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. May Allah bless you. May our Lord preserve you. And you as well, if Allah wills.
