Question: There are some mistakes which occur whilst making tawaaf, what are those mistakes?
Response: Many pilgrims adhere to specific supplications whilst making tawaaf. There are groups from amongst them that take [their supplications] from one designated to read and then they all repeat this as a group in chorus. This is a mistake from two points:
Firstly: This is adhering to a supplication which is not mentioned to be adhered to in the this place (tawaaf) because no specific supplication has been mentioned on the authority of the Prophet ﷺ whilst making tawaaf;
Secondly: The group supplication in chorus is an innovation, which also interferes with the [concentration of] other pilgrims making tawaaf. That which is legislated is for everyone to supplicate on their own without raising the voices.
