Is a parent's supplication for their children's guidance considered recommended, or is guidance a matter of divine decree?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is a parent's supplication for their children's guidance considered recommended, or has Allah already decreed guidance for them, or misguidance?

Answer:
Supplicating for them to be guided is prescribed. This is prescribed, and one should not rely solely on the divine decree, saying, "If their guidance is decreed, they do not need supplication, and if their misguidance is decreed, supplication will not benefit them." This is from Shaytan. A person supplicates and performs the cause, and the results are in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and supplication has a status with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). And Ibrahim (peace be upon him) supplicated for his descendants, , he supplicated for his descendants after him, yes.
