Is it permissible to make du'a' (supplication) for worldly matters in the obligatory prayer?

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.
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
[Al-Baqarah 2:201]
Yes.
