Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man made this supplication[Ibrahim 14:39-40], so his companion said to him: "Rather, say 'and my offspring.' Is this to specify the gender or for the sake of deliberation?
Answer:
When one comes with the verse, one brings the foundation without changing it. If one comes with the verse, one brings it with its wording and does not change it. However, if one supplicates with wording from oneself, there is no harm. Yes.
