Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to make this supplication mentioned by Uthman ibn Hanif in times of dire necessity? And what is the sin upon the one who makes this supplication, even though the need of the one who made it has been fulfilled?
Answer:
His need has been fulfilled; we have answered regarding it. This does not indicate the answer, and the Shaykh mentioned this previously. Supplication in times of dire necessity is to call upon Allah with your need: "O You who answers the supplication of the distressed, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O..." Do not call upon Allah with what the blind man called upon in the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Do not call upon Allah with that; rather, call upon Allah the Exalted with your need. Just as Ayyub (peace be upon him) said: "Adversity has touched me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful." So you call upon Allah with your state, your dire necessity, and your poverty. You seek nearness to Allah through that. Yes.
