What is the ruling on adhering to a specific supplication for each circuit of tawaaf or lap of saa‘i?.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is no specific supplication for each circuit; rather
allocating a specific supplication to each circuit is an innovation
(bid‘ah), because that was not narrated from the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him). The most that was narrated is to say takbeer (Allahu
akbar) when touching the Black Stone and to say Rabbana aatina
fi’d-dunya hasanah wa fi’l-aakhirati hasanah wa qinaa ‘adhaab an-naar (Our
Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that
which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire) [al-Baqarah 2:201]
between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone. As for the rest, it is dhikr
in general and Qur’aan and du‘aa’, and there is nothing that is specifically
to be recited in one circuit and not another. End quote.
