The Time of Supplication, Its Conditions, and Ablution for It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And your Lord said, "Call upon Me, and I will respond to you." Is there a specific time for du'a' (supplication)? What are its conditions, Honorable Shaykh? And is it necessary to be in a state of wudu' (ablution)?
The Shaykh:
It is not necessary; it is not required that du'a' be made while in a state of wudu'. As for its time, it has no fixed time. Night and day are all times for du'a'. And if he makes a vow, he must fulfill it. What is the question?
The questioner:
He asks: Does du'a' have a specific time?
The Shaykh:
It has no specific time, but there are times when the acceptance of du'a' is more hoped for, such as du'a' during prostration, such as du'a' in the last part of the night, the last third of the night, and such as du'a' in the hour of Friday. Yes.
