Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: There is a woman who makes this supplication, O Shaykh. She says in her supplication: “O Allah, grant me safety while I am in health and well-being, and do not place me under the mercy of anyone but You.” What is the ruling on this supplication?
Answer:
She is asking Allah to grant her well-being, to not make her in need of anyone else, and to be kind to her. It is better for her to say, “O Allah, make me independent of Your creation, and make me independent of anyone other than You by Your bounty,” than to supplicate for her own death, that no illness befall her, and that nothing befall her. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
