Does excessive supplication in prayer for worldly needs invalidate the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does excessive supplication in prayer for a worldly need invalidate the prayer?

Answer:
It does not invalidate the prayer, but the difference in the first part is that what invalidates the prayer is if the supplication is entirely for worldly matters and not for the Hereafter. This is what invalidates the prayer. But if he supplicates for the Hereafter and for the world
Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] goodرَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً
[Al-Baqarah 2:201]
, he supplicates to Allah for the well-being of his religion and his worldly life. It is only if he restricts it to the world alone that his prayer is invalidated. Yes.
