Is it permissible to ask for wealth in supplication?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A hadith: "Fear Allah, all of you."
The Shaykh : Yes, and what does that mean?
The questioner : Do you like it? Do you imagine?
The Shaykh : What kind of asking?
The questioner : Please proceed.
The Shaykh : Asking for wealth. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No soul will die until its provision and its term are completed, so fear Allah and be beautiful in your asking, meaning in asking for wealth. No, and even if the intention is in the supplication, which is not the intended meaning, but if he says 'be beautiful in the supplication,' meaning make it beautiful and beneficial. A good wife is beneficial, a spacious house is beneficial, and a luxurious car is beneficial. Yes, so ask Allah for whatever you wish. In a hadith whose authenticity I do not recall at the moment, it is said: 'Let one of you ask his Lord until he asks for the strap of his sandal.' Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
