What is the ruling on reciting the litany of the names: "O All-Strong, O All-Rich, O All-Sufficient, O All-Fulfilling" a known number of times to attract abundant sustenance?
Reciting a specific litany a certain number of times to attract sustenance is an innovation (bid‘ah), because the names "Al-Mali’" (The Fulfiller) and "Al-Wafi" (The All-Faithful) have not been established in the texts, and singling out a specific dhikr with a specific number for a specific need requires evidence. To seek abundant sustenance, a Muslim must have piety () towards Allah and perform good deeds, maintain kinship ties, give abundant charity, continuously perform Hajj and , seek forgiveness (istighfar), and supplicate with established supplications such as: "O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and accepted deeds," and "O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, grant me well-being, and provide for me," and supplicate using Allah's Most Beautiful Names, and supplicate before sleeping: "O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens... settle my debt and enrich me from poverty."
