Supplication at night to seek a righteous spouse

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. A message arrived from a female listener to the program. She says: Honorable Shaykh, I have passed the age of thirty, and I ask you to supplicate for me for success in finding a righteous husband and a happy married life. She says: If I dedicate half the night to seeking a righteous husband and supplicating, is there any harm in that?

Answer:
There is no harm in supplicating at night, or during the day, or at any time, as long as it does not involve what is forbidden. It is a great act of worship, and the more of it one does, the better. Indeed, Allah loves it when His servants persist in supplication, especially when a person is in need of something. If a woman needs marriage, she supplicates to Allah for it at night or during the day. Supplication in the last part of the night is more likely to be answered, because it is the time of the Divine Descent. The time of the Divine Descent is established in the last part of the night before the dawn breaks.
