The ruling on saying "La hawla wa la quwwata illa bi-Allah" in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person says "La hawla wa la quwwata illa bi-Allah" during the prayer, is his prayer invalidated?
Answer:
Do not mention the prayer, because this is a dhikr. "La hawla wa la quwwata illa bi-Allah" is a dhikr that is said in supplication during the ruku' and the sujud. Do not mention the prayer, if Allah wills. However, it is not befitting for him to say it while standing, just as he would say it in the ruku' or in the sujud, which is supplication, or if he says it in the final tashahhud, which is supplication. Yes, it is among the supplications. Yes.
