Supplication in prostration in a language other than Arabic

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A Muslim man who is not an Arab says: Is it permissible for him to supplicate in his prostration in his non-Arabic language?

Answer:
If he does not know Arabic well, he recites the dhikr in his own language. There is nothing wrong with that, except for the Qur'an; he must recite the Qur'an, because the Qur'an cannot be recited in any other language.
