Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on saying, in the context of supplication for the deceased, “May Allah have mercy on him, if Allah wills,” or “May Allah have mercy on him, if Allah wills”?
Answer:
Leave out “if Allah wills”; do not include it. This is supplication, and supplication is not accompanied by “if Allah wills.” Be decisive in your supplication, as in the hadith: Yes.

Leave out “if Allah wills”; do not include it. This is supplication, and supplication is not accompanied by “if Allah wills.” Be decisive in your supplication, as in the hadith:
Call upon Allah while being certain of the response, and let none of you say, “O Allah, forgive me if You will, O Allah, have mercy on me if You will.”
ادعوا الله وأنتم موقنون بالإجابة، ولا يقل أحدكم اللهم اغفر لي إن شئت اللهم ارحمني إن شئت.
