Is the daily “wird” (set of recitations) taken from the Qur’an and Sunnah, which brings comfort to the soul and achieves khushu’ (devotional humility), considered an innovation, or does it carry the reward of adhkar (remembrance of Allah)? And should it be abandoned and replaced with the daily adhkar that cause boredom and lead to a loss of khushu’?
The book "Al-Du'a Al-Mustajab" (The Answered Supplication) by Ahmad Abd Al-Jawad is full of weak and fabricated hadiths, so it is not permissible to rely on it. The Permanent Committee for Issuing Fatwas stated that what is mentioned in the book regarding performing twelve rak'ahs in a specific manner is an innovation (bid'ah) because it is not authentically established from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Moreover, reciting the Quran during prostration is forbidden. Therefore, one should adhere to the remembrances (adhkar) that are authentically established from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and strive to be mindful and present in heart when reciting them.
