Is it permissible to designate a specific time for Dhikr, such as allocating 10 minutes daily for seeking forgiveness (Istighfar), taking into account that specifying a number without evidence is considered an innovation (Bid‘ah)?
The reason for considering this an innovation (bid'ah) is if the doer believes in the virtue of that specific number, or that particular period. However, if it is done for the purpose of time management, there is no harm in it.
