There is no specific du’aa’ to be recited at Maqaam Ibraaheem

Question

Is there a specific du’aa’ to be recited at Maqaam Ibraaheem?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

 Some pilgrims performing Hajj and ‘Umrah stand at Maqaam Ibraaheem and recite a du’aa’ that was not narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Some of them recite the du’aa’ in a loud voice, and disturb those who are praying the two rak’ahs after tawaaf behind the Maqaam. There is no specific du’aa’ to be recited at the Maqaam, rather the Sunnah is to pray two brief rak’ahs behind it, then to get up immediately after saying the tasleem so as to leave room for those who have more right to it, those who want to pray the two rak’ahs following tawaaf.
