The ruling on supplicating for worldly matters in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some jurists mentioned that the prayer is invalidated if one supplicates for worldly matters. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
Yes. If he supplicates specifically for worldly matters, this prayer is not for the world, but if he supplicates for both the world and the Hereafter, that is good,[Al-Baqarah 2:201] or he says, "Provide for me," as in the supplication between the two prostrations: "My Lord, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, grant me health, and provide for me." This combines the world and the Hereafter. Yes. As for every supplication being for the world, that invalidates the prayer. Yes.
