Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for me, when I lend money to a person, to ask him to make du'a' (supplication) for me? And is this part of the benefit mentioned in the saying that every loan that brings benefit?

Answer:
Yes, do not ask him for anything. Lend to him for the sake of Allah, and that is sufficient. Do not ask him for du'a' (supplication); that is a reward. Yes.
