Answer

Assal?mu `alaikum Warahmatull?hi Wabrakatuh,

The general du???s and waz??if that are in the Qur??n and Ahad?th maybe recited by any person, male or female. One does not require permission from any person to recite such du`??s and waz??if.

For example, Rasulullah salallahu ?alayhi wasallam advised to recite the tasb?h F?timi after every fardh sal?h. Tasb?h F?timi is to recite 33 times Subh?n Allah, 33 times Alhamdu Lillah and 34 times Allahu Akbar. (Bukh?ri)

Rasulullah salallahu ?alayhi wasallam also encouraged to recite the three Quls (Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad, Qul A??dhu Bi Rabbil Falaq and Qul A??dhu Bi Rabbin N?s) before sleeping. These du???s and waz??if are for everyone to read.

There are many publications on general du???s for example, Hisn Has?n, Waz??if-ul-Muqarrab?n by Moosa Olger Saheb. Those books contain many general du???s and waz??if and are compiled for easy reference for the general public.

There are certain waz??if prescribed by spiritual mentors for example, to recite L? Il?ha Illa Allah loudly two hundred times or Allahu Allah thousand times in a specific way. The specific number and ways of recital of those waz??if are not mentioned in the Ahad?th. These are prescriptions by spiritual guides for spiritual upliftment of their followers. These prescribed waz??if are not fardh, sunnah or w?jib. There is also no prohibition in Shar??ah from reciting these waz??if in a specific way and specific number of times. This is a spiritual cure with the prescription of spiritual guide.

It is similar to a patient who goes to a physician and is prescribed medication for example, three tablets daily after each meal. No patient or outsider questions the legitimacy of such a prescription. It is understood that the physician has prescribed the medication based on his expertise and training and in the interest of his patient. Similarly, are the waz??if prescribed to a disciple. He practices those waz??if as a spiritual cure and upliftment. It is meant for him alone, not for another person. One cannot use the medication of a patient without consulting his physician. It may be detrimental to one?s health. Similarly one cannot follow specific waz??if prescribed by a spiritual guide without being consulted by a spiritual guide. That may be to ones detriment physically and spiritually.

And Allah Ta'?la Knows Best,
