Is the validity of what has been narrated concerning the specific merits of reciting Surat Ad-Duha a certain number of times, or a specific supplication after reciting it, or a special supplication after Salatul-Duha, an innovation (bid‘ah) or not?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Most of what is mentioned regarding the specific properties of the Quran is based on experience, and it is permissible to act upon the recitation of a surah followed by supplication. However, committing to repeating it a specific number of times or at a specific time is not advisable, as it constitutes an additive innovation (bid‘ah iḍāfiyyah).
