Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: Many people have the habit of conditioning their supplication with the will of Allah, saying, for example, "Allah will help us, if Allah wills." Is this a reason for the supplication not being answered?
Answer:
This is prohibited. One does not say, "O Allah, help us" or "help the Muslims, if You will," or "Allah will help the Muslims, if Allah wills." This is not permissible. In all types of supplication, the will of Allah is not mentioned. Yes.
