What is the ruling on setting a daily schedule for the morning and evening dhikr, the dhikr of prayer, and including them in supplication?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is your opinion on setting a daily schedule for the dhikr, the evening and morning dhikr, and the dhikr of the five prayers, and making it part of the da'wah?
The Shaykh : I believe this is one of the modern innovations of the batil type, and it is most similar to the awrad of the Sufi shaykhs. One of the scientific principles related to the chapter of bid'ah is that it is not permissible to restrict what the Shari'ah has made general, nor to make general what it has restricted. Rather, the general remains general and the restricted remains restricted. Since this organization that you are asking about did not come from the Shari'ah, it is like other organizations related to ... so it is not prescribed.
The questioner : May Allah reward you ... multiple
The Shaykh : Many
The questioner : It may mean that one day he supplicates with this and another day he supplicates
The Shaykh : He varies
The questioner : One day he increases in supplication and another day he says
The Shaykh : And so it is.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And the matter remains according to the worshipper's activity; he is not obligated to follow a fixed routine. Indeed, this routine, in reality, without a doubt, leads to matters that contradict the Shari'ah. I know one of the shaykhs who was very fond of the book known as Dalail al-Khayrat, and I think our brothers present know the arrangement of these so-called dalail, where it has an awrad for Saturday like this, an awrad for Sunday like this, and so on for all the days of the week. So, Glorified is Allah, you would see him striving to perform every awrad on its day. But if he missed his hizb of the Qur'an, there is no harm.
The questioner : Allahu Akbar.
The Shaykh : I mean the hizb that the Muslim organizes for himself, and as you know, this is from the Sunnah of the Salaf. So if he is lax in it, there is no harm. But the Saturday awrad he reads and the Sunday awrad he reads, this is not what should be done, as if it were revelation from the sky. And this is without a doubt an exaggeration in religion, unlike others.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, yes
The Shaykh : There is no need, may Allah bless you, there is no need, the world now is shubhah, what Allah willed
The questioner : Our Shaykh, may Allah bless you, I read Surat Tabaarak every night. Does this count as dhikr or daily awrad?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is from the Sunnah
The questioner : And is maintaining it, I mean
The Shaykh : From the Sunnah
