Are “I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He created” three times from the evening remembrances, and is “Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him, to the number of His creation, by His pleasure, by the weight of His Throne, and by the extent of His words” three times from the morning remembrances only? And are some of the evening remembrances absolute, and some restricted to after the Maghrib or Asr prayer? And does a menstruating woman adhere to the remembrances restricted to the time of Maghrib, such as “Allah is sufficient for me; there is no god but Him. In Him I put my trust, and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne” seven times after Maghrib? And is it considered an innovation to specify the remembrance of “Allah is sufficient for me; there is no god but Him” and “There is no god but Allah alone, He has no partner” ten times in the evening after Maghrib only?

1. "I seek refuge in Allah's perfect words from the evil of what He has created" three times, from the evening remembrances.

2. "Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him, to the number of His creation, to the extent of His pleasure, to the weight of His Throne, and to the ink of His words" three times, from the morning remembrances, due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "I have said after you four words, three times, if they were weighed against what you have said since today, they would outweigh them: Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him, to the number of His creation, to the extent of His pleasure, to the weight of His Throne, and to the ink of His words."

3. The time for evening remembrances is from the Asr prayer until a part of the night. What is specified for the night, like Ayatul-Kursi, should be recited at night.

4. "Allah is sufficient for me; there is no god but He. In Him I put my trust, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne" and "There is no god but Allah alone, without any partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and all praise, and He is over all things competent" are from the evening remembrances, and reciting them after Maghrib falls within the evening time.

5. It is permissible for a menstruating woman to recite the morning and evening remembrances and the Qur'an by heart without touching the Mus'haf.
