Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe, do you approve of supplicating for the one in authority, because the common people believe that the door of commands is his doing sometimes?
Answer:
No, it makes no difference; he should be consistent with it, and he should be consistent with supplicating for the Muslims. The people need this, and the people know that this is not an individual obligation for a Muslim. Yes.
