Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on making du'a' (supplication) for the one in authority in the Friday sermon?
Answer:
It is an obligatory good thing, because if the ruler is righteous, the people will be righteous. So supplicating for him is supplicating for the people, because if he is righteous, Allah will rectify the people through him. The Salaf used to supplicate for the rulers, and they would suspect that the one who does not supplicate for the ruler is one of the Khawarij. The Salaf would suspect that the one who does not supplicate for the ruler in the sermon is one of the Khawarij, because they are the ones who hate the rulers and want to rebel against them.
