Supplication in prostration with the supplications of the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it true that it is not permissible for a man to supplicate in his prostration with the supplication mentioned in the Qur'an?
The Shaykh:
Why? It is more deserving. The supplications in the Qur'an are more deserving than others, and those in the Sunnah, which are supplicated with in the hadiths, are also more deserving than others from the Book or the Sunnah. The one who says this is mistaken.
The questioner:
He says: O Shaykh, to avoid reciting the Qur'an in the Sunnah.
The Shaykh:
This is recitation, not recitation for the purpose of recitation; this is supplication. There is a difference between recitation for recitation and recitation for supplication. There is no harm in supplication. Yes.
