Surah Waqi’ah – Surah of Poverty (1/3)
Question
I have been reading that the Hadiths regarding the benefits of Surah Waqi’ah increasing sustenance maybe weak. What is the authenticity and when should we recite it?
Answer
The Hadith mentions ‘Surah Waqi’ah will become a protection from poverty for the one who recites it every night.’
The Hadith is reliable.
The night starts when Maghrib sets in thus a person may recite it from this time onward.
Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
