Is it permissible to read supplications from a paper on some nights of Ramadan?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is another section, Shaykh Muhammad, where it says: "Is it permissible to read supplications from a paper on some nights of Ramadan?"
The Shaykh : Yes, there is no harm in a person reading supplications from a paper, provided that it does not cause him to lose the presence of his heart and does not necessitate lengthening the supplication. Lengthening the supplication in the qunut may tire the people and bore them, and one of them may wish that he did not have to hear this supplication from his imam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family kept his sermon short and his prayer short, meaning between long and short. So let him strive not to lengthen the supplication in the qunut to the extent that it tires the people, or many of them, or bores them. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
