The Ruling on the Prayer of Need and the Prayer for Guidance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the quality of the prayer for the stone, I read that it is weak. Do you agree with this statement?
Answer:
It is known that the prayer of need is for repentance; the prayer is for the sake of repentance. This is the weak view. The prayer for guidance is the weak one, the authentic one. So, who prays when he commits a sin? And whoever prays two units, and then prays two units, and repents to his Lord and seeks His forgiveness, he is alive, not for every need. Yes, for a need of repentance from his sin, and his return to Allah, or for seeking guidance. Yes.
