Some fathers or mothers say to their sons, “We ask Allah to take you,” if this is beneficial and good for you. What is the ruling on supplicating with this, O Shaykh? Supplicating against the children if it is beneficial and good for them.

The Shaykh:
You bow, no, do not bow, no, and there is no harm, if Allah wills, just as in the hadith in the books . Another hadith: “O Allah, You know the unseen, and I said to You in creation: keep me alive if life is better for me, and take me if death is better for me.” Usually, people invoke with this when they are angry.

The questioner:
The prohibition regarding children is what the prohibition came about.

The Shaykh:
This is a supplication for them, this is a supplication for them, they supplicate for them that it comes out if it is their origin.

The questioner:
Excuse me, say.

The Shaykh:
His family.
