The Ruling on Asking Others for Supplication

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Abu 'Abdullah, says: Is asking others to make du'a' (supplication) for one reported from the Companions and from the Messenger?

Answer:
Yes. It is reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said to 'Umar, when 'Umar intended to perform 'Umrah, that he came to seek the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) permission, and he said:
My younger brother, do not forget me in your supplication.لا تنسنا يا أخي من صالح دعائك
Sunan Abi Dawud 1498Da'if (Al-Albani)
So there is no harm in that. And 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked al-'Abbas ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) to make du'a' for the Muslims for rain and rainfall. So asking the righteous present, the living present, to make du'a' is a matter with no harm in it. Yes.
