Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it valid for the supplicant to say in the qunut supplication, “O Allah, guide me, my parents, and my descendants among those You have guided, and grant me well-being among those You have granted well-being”?
Answer:
If there are people praying behind him, he should not use the singular pronoun, but rather the plural pronoun: “Guide us, forgive us,” and so on. However, if he is praying alone, there is nothing wrong with using the singular pronoun, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught al-Hasan ibn 'AliSunan an-Nasa'i 1745Sahih (Darussalam) and so on. Yes.
