Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there any dislike in asking one's parents for supplication on the grounds that their supplication for their child is answered?
Answer:
It is permissible. You may ask any Muslim for supplication. However, if you dispense with your parents and others and turn directly to Allah, that is better and more sincere in your work. You do not understand that this is forbidden; it is permissible. But if you turn to Allah and worship Him, for supplication is worship, and you do not rely on the worship of others—you call upon Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and Allah is near and responsive—then that is better than asking someone else to supplicate for you, even though that is permissible. Dispensing with what is permissible is better.
