Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for a person to make du'a' (supplication) in a language other than Arabic while in prostration during the obligatory or voluntary prayer?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible except for one who does not know Arabic. The one who does not know Arabic makes du'a' in the language he knows. Yes.
