Is it permissible to recite Surah Yasin (specifically, the prayer for fulfilling needs, known as "al-Adiyah") with the intention of seeking an increase in goodness and provision?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Reading Surat Yasin a specific number of times has no basis [in Islamic tradition]. Although reading the Quran contains much good, the narrations regarding the virtues of Surat Yasin are weak or fabricated. A Muslim should ask Allah Almighty by His Most Beautiful Names and Exalted Attributes and humbly supplicate to Him at all times, especially during times and in places where prayers are answered. He should also avoid anything in worship that has no basis [in Islamic tradition].
