Discussion on the commitment to specific daily recitations.

The Shaykh : Regarding the topic of standing in night prayer and fasting during the day, how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to take a dispensation and concede on many matters. The story is well known in the "Sahihayn." I am only interested in what came outside the "Sahihayn" with a sound chain, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) concluded with Ibn 'Amr by saying to him: So we take from this hadith that it is permissible for a Muslim to read the Qur'an in three nights. Well, it is permissible for him to read the Qur'an in six nights, permissible, permissible, and so on, to read, for example, thirty parts in thirty days, and so on, according to the person's capacity and ability. This is from the legal perspective. From the perspective of religious innovation, I am now mentioning what is called "Dala'il al-Khayrat." You must know something about "Dala'il al-Khayrat." But have you looked at a copy of its copies?

The questioner : I have looked at a copy and at parts of some copies.

The Shaykh : The important thing is that each day has a specific recitation, each day has, I mean, a specific supplication. I know a relative of mine (may Allah have mercy on him) who might miss the Qur'anic part but would never miss the Dala'il part. This is, of course, an innovation in the religion, because here there is an arrangement and classification as if it were revelation from the sky. This is, of course, not permissible. If the commitment you asked about is motivated not by religious devotion but by your specific circumstances to organize your time, for example, in what you have and what is upon you, and so on, then I see no objection, based on the hadith: .

The questioner : ... in what concerns the individual specifically.

The Shaykh : I also answered you regarding the congregation, my brother, do not forget. That is it.
