The questioner:
May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. What about one who supplicates to Allah in a language other than Arabic?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in it. One may supplicate to Allah in any of the languages of His people, but the Qur'an must be recited from the Mushaf, O my master.
The presenter:
Good.

As for supplication, one may supplicate to Allah in all languages. Each person supplicates in his own language and praises Him,[Ghafir 40:60].
The presenter:
Allah.
The Shaykh:
And it is strange.
