The Ruling on Requesting Supplication from the Righteous
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, I always ask the righteous women or the righteous men to supplicate for me for righteousness, steadfastness, and provision. Is it permissible for me to request this supplication?
Answer:
It is permissible, but it is better for you to supplicate yourself. The Muslim supplicates himself; he supplicates to Allah for himself and for others. And if he requests supplication from others, that is permissible, but it is more preferable that he is the one who supplicates.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
