The Ruling on Asking Others for Supplication

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah be with you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: You previously stated that asking people to make du'a' (supplication) is disliked (makruh), whether it is from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or from anyone else. So what is said regarding Umm Salim (may Allah be pleased with her) asking the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to make du'a' for Anas (may Allah be pleased with him)?

Answer:
It is permissible. This falls under the category of what is permissible. And because the Messenger has a special status, (peace and blessings be upon him), for he is one whose du'a' is answered, or rather, he is not like others. Asking this of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) does not fall under what is disliked, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is one whose du'a' is answered and is not like others. Yes.
