Praise be to Allah alone, and may prayers and peace be upon the one after whom there is no prophet. After that: The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta has reviewed what was sent to His Eminence the Grand Mufti from the Honorable Director of the Dawah and Guidance Center in Dammam, in his letter number (22/1/265) dated 10/5/1431 AH, along with its attachment: the inquiry submitted by the Honorable Supervisor of the Non-Muslim Communities Awareness Section in Dammam, and referred to the Committee by the General Secretariat of the Council of Senior Scholars, number (755) dated 10/5/1431 AH. The inquirer asked a question, the text of which is as follows: The Communities Section wishes to print a collection of supplications with their translation in the form of cards, and we are attaching to you a sample (1) of these cards to provide us with a ruling on whether this supplication suffices in place of reciting it in Arabic, or whether it is necessary to translate the pronunciation of the supplication, as shown in sample (2), knowing that we will translate most of the supplications that a Muslim needs
in the same manner in which we receive the ruling.
After studying the inquiry, the Committee responded that the original rule for supplications narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is that they are performed as they were transmitted in the Arabic language. If there is a need to translate their meanings so that the one making the supplication understands the meaning, he may supplicate with what he understood of the meaning in his own language, and there is no harm in that.
