Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I heard from some of them that the ruling on attaching supplication to the will of Allah is divided into two categories. The first is if it is in the category of making a request, then it is not permissible. And if it is in the category of stating a fact, then it is permissible. Accordingly, if I say to a person, "May Allah grant you success, if Allah wills," then this is permissible because it falls under the category of stating a fact.
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify this. He prohibited saying, "O Allah, forgive me if You will," and "O Allah, have mercy on me if You will." He did not specify in this matter. So we do not do this; we do not attach supplication to the will of Allah. Rather, we supplicate to Allah with certainty that He will answer the supplication without attaching it to the will of Allah, because there is no one who can compel Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
