Saying, ''There is no God but Allah''

866

Q 5: What is the ruling on saying Tahlil (saying: "La ilaha illa Allah [There is no god except Allah]") a thousand times per day? What is the ruling on saying it while carrying the dead to their graves?

A: This Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah) mentioned in the question has great merit and the more you recite it, the more reward Allah grants you. But we do not have any evidence that specifies this number of times nor that proves that we should say it while carrying the dead to the graves. In fact, this is an act of Bid`ah (innovation in religion).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
