Du`aa’ Before Starting Seminars .. Bid`ah?
Dear Scholars:as-salamu ?alaykum. In Islam, I believed it is commendable (Sunnah) to have an individual duaa (kifaratul majlis) at the end of gatherings. Here in the Philippines, we used to have trainings, seminars or gatherings as part of government offices activities wherein mixed Muslims and Christians are participants. Is it innovation (bida?a) to have a Muslim invocation (duaa) before starting seminars or gatherings taken from the Qur?aninc verses or hadith? Jazakum Allahu khairan.
