Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for me to make supplication in my prayer, whether in the bowing, the prostration, or the sitting? Is it permissible for me to make supplication in my prayer, whether in the bowing, the prostration, or the sitting, in another language?
Answer:
If you do not know the Arabic language well, make supplication in your own language. But if you know the Arabic language well, it is not permissible; it must be in the Arabic language in which the Shari'ah was revealed.
