Reading Invocations from what is Written

Question :

I have only memorized a small number of supplications, so is it permissible for me to write some supplications down on paper and then read them during or outside of the prayer?

Answer:

There is A nothing to prohibit reading supplications from paper, especially if you haven't memorized them, and especially during times when you are encouraged to supplicate, like the last part of the night or other times. But if one is able to memorize that and recite it with presence of heart and humility then that is much more complete. As for the prayer, it is more appropriate for you to read short supplications from what you have committed to memory. But if you do read invocations from a paper during the seated position (Tashahud) or between the two prostrations, it is permissible. Nevertheless, you are more likely to supplicate from your heart if you have committed the supplication to memory.

And with Allah is the facilitation to do what is right.
