Reciting masnoon duas at their prescribed times

· 6 Rajab 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Do I have to say duas before everything such as before sleeping, before shower, before eating & after eating, before going out & before entering the house, before journey by bus, plane, train, every kind of transportation, before going to the washroom, before wearing clothes, before intercourse, before wedding etc.?

Will my Salaah not be accepted if I don't do this?

Answer

Reciting these masnoon duas at their prescribed times is sunnah and greatly rewarding. However, it is not compulsory to recite these duas and your salaah will be valid even though you do not recite these duas.

Nevertheless, you should make a concerted effort to learn these beautiful duas and recite them at their prescribed times so that you do not lose out the great rewards and virtues that are promised in the mubaarak Ahaadith for those who recite these duas.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
