Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to make du'a' in the obligatory prayer for something from the matters of this world, such as saying, "O Allah, I ask You for wealth, or a house, or other such matters of this world"?
Answer:
Restricting the du'a' to this world alone is not permissible; in fact, they said it invalidates the prayer. However, if the du'a' combines matters of this world and the Hereafter, there is nothing wrong with it. This is good and required.[Al-Baqarah 2:201] Yes.

Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
