Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to give money to young children so that they will make du'a for him? Is it permissible to give money to young children so that they will make du'a for him?
Answer:
No, a person does not hire someone to make du'a for him. Does he make du'a for a wage, or not? If he makes du'a for a wage, his du'a is not accepted, because du'a is an act of worship, and one does not take a wage for it.
