Question: Is it permissible for a Muslim to allocate specific supplications of remembrance for particular days, such that for every day, he allocates a specific supplication of remembrance?

Response: It is not permissible for a Muslim to do this, because in doing so there is an element of legislating [this practice], and this is not permissible for anyone to do, other than Allaah (Tabaaraka wa Ta’aala).
