Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A person who is not married, is it permissible for him to make the supplication of the Khalil (peace be upon him)[Ibrahim 14:40] intending by it that Allah will grant him offspring after his marriage and make them righteous, or should he be content with saying, “My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer”?
Answer:
He recites the verse; he does not read part of the verse and leave out part of it, but if he has no offspring, he asks Allah for offspring: “O Allah, grant me righteous offspring, my Lord[Ali 'Imran 3:38], my Lord [As-Saffat 37:100], yes.”

My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many] from my descendants. Our Lord, and accept my supplication.
