Is there a conditionality in the supplication for the sick person when saying, “No harm, it is purification, if Allah wills”?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: We have been taught that it is not permissible to condition a supplication with the will of Allah, and yet in the supplication for the sick person, it is said, “No harm, it is purification, if Allah wills.”
The Shaykh:
This falls under the category of seeking blessing, not the category of conditioning. It is for seeking blessing. The will of Allah is sometimes mentioned for emphasis, sometimes for conditioning, and sometimes for seeking blessing. Yes.
The presenter:
May the sky above you be upon you.
The Shaykh:
For seeking blessing[Al-Fath 48:27] This is not for conditioning; this is for affirmation. Yes.
