Question

Are we permitted to engage in Zikrullah in the state of Janaabat? What about recitation of Masnoon Duas and responding to the Adhaan?

Answer

Engaging in Zikrullah in a state of Janaabat is permitted. Similarly, one is permitted to recite the verses containing Duas as Zikr and Dua (not as Tilaawat.) Also, the various Masnoon Duas for the different occasions may be recited in a state of Janaabat. One may also respond to the Adhaan in a state of Janaabat. [Re:- Kitaabun Nawaazil Pg.155 Vol.3]

ALLAH TAÁLA KNOWS BEST!
