Supplication for the well-being and healing of all Muslims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
One of the preachers mentioned in his sermon that one of the errors of the imams is supplicating for all Muslims, whether for well-being and healing, and he justified this with justifications, including that it is not possible for all people to be healed.
The Shaykh:
Meaning that Allah is incapable of healing them all? Glory be to Allah. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
This is one of the pretensions of some of those who affect learning or those who are beginners in seeking knowledge; they answer with such oddities and things. It is not permissible to speak in this way. One supplicates for the Muslims for healing, one supplicates for the Muslims for victory, one supplicates for the Muslims for success, one supplicates for the Muslims for forgiveness, and nothing is too great for Allah, as you have heard; nothing is too great for Him to give, Glorified and Exalted is He. Is this pretension and this [behavior] permissible? Where did this speech come from? Did anyone precede him in this? Glory be to Allah! Yes.
