What is the ruling on asking others for supplication?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on asking others for supplication, or on saying to one's brother, "Ask Allah for me in my absence"?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that; you may ask your brother for supplication. However, it is better to leave it and make the supplication yourself, because this involves a need for the created. Whenever you can do without the created, that is better. Yes.
