Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to supplicate frequently during the obligatory prayers, specifically for certain people by their names? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. You supplicate for yourself and for whom you wish by their names. There is nothing wrong with saying, “O Allah, forgive so-and-so,” or “O Allah, have mercy on so-and-so.” There is nothing wrong with that, because there is no evidence prohibiting it. [He recites:] “Forgive your own sin and for the believing men and believing women.” Yes. “My Lord, forgive me and my parents.” This is general, in prayer and otherwise. Yes. Those who say that in the obligatory prayer you only supplicate for yourself are common people who do not know. Yes.
