Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, regarding supplication, is ritual purity required when making supplication, or can a person, for example, make supplication while in his car, while sitting in his chair, or while in prayer?
Answer:
Yes, a person supplicates whenever he needs to supplicate or becomes aware of it. He supplicates while in his car, while walking on foot, while on his bed, and while sitting in his gathering. He supplicates to Allah the Mighty and Majestic, asking Him for his needs and the needs of the Muslims. Supplication is the greatest of the types of worship, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
