Question:
May Allah reward you. We are concluding this episode, may Allah bless you, with this question. The questioner, Abu Mu’adh, says: I say in my supplication, “O Allah, grant me a wife of the utmost righteousness, beauty, and life.” Does this fall under transgression in supplication, or does it not?
Answer:
It does not fall under transgression in supplication, but asking Allah for a righteous, good woman is better than relying on beauty. Perhaps she is beautiful but not pleasant to be with, or perhaps she is not beautiful as desired but is pleasant to her husband. So one should ask Allah for a righteous, good woman.
