Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to ask for supplication from those who are not righteous, such as the negligent among Muslims? For example, when I provide a service to this man, I say to him, “May you pray for me.” Is this permissible?

The discussion concerns the righteous, because their supplication is more likely to be accepted. As for those who are not righteous, I do not know of anything regarding that. Yes.
