Dua Ganj-ul-Arsh
Question
I would like to know what is the authenticity of Dua Gan-jul-Arsh?
Answer
The narrations pertaining to Ganj-ul-Arsh are fabricated. None of the reliable and famous commentators of Hadith have accepted it. Hence, it is incorrect for a person to recite it considering the virtues and merits attached to it as authentic. We therefore advise that one should recite the Duas mentioned in the Quraan Sharif, or Duas mentioned in the Hadith Shareef, or other authentic Kitaabs such as Hizbul-Aa’zam, Munaajat-e-Maqbool, or Durood Sharif, Istighfaar, the fourth Kalimah, etc. which have been the practice of our elders and is a means of attaining Barakah.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
