The Legitimacy of Supplication at All Times

The questioner:
Only?

The Shaykh:
The supplication.

The questioner:
And he is sound. That is, it is interpreted to mean that it is only in prayer, meaning it is not recommended to supplicate while prostrating outside of prayer, if it occurs to him to supplicate without prostrating.

The Shaykh:
The time, may Allah keep you safe, and Allah the Exalted says: He was called, and He says, Exalted is He: "Call upon Me, I will respond to you." Supplication is prescribed at all times, night and day, while you are riding, while you are walking, and while you are lying down, at every time. However, there are times that are more likely to be answered, such as supplication in prostration, which is more likely to be answered; supplication when you are about to pray Maghrib after 'Asr on Friday, which is more likely to be answered; supplication when the imam ascends the pulpit on Friday until the prayer is read, which is more likely to be answered; supplication in the latter part of the night, which is more likely to be answered; supplication between the adhan and the iqamah, which is more likely to be answered; and a person supplicating with humility, care, repetition of the supplication, and persistence, which is more likely to be answered, and so on.
