The Prayer of Need and the Number of Its Rak'ahs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Abu Muhammad, says: Honorable Shaykh, I read that there is an act called the prayer of need for one who wants a good or pleasant matter to be realized. Is there a basis for the prayer of need? And how many rak'ahs does it consist of?
Answer:
Yes, a hadith was reported regarding the prayer of need that one prays two rak'ahs and asks Allah to fulfill his need. If a Muslim does this, it is not expected that it will be accepted and his need fulfilled. There is a hadith on this, but I do not recall it right now, meaning the chain of the hadith or its strength. However, it is actually reported. They call it the prayer of need; they call this prayer the prayer of need. Yes.
