Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Regarding the statement in supplication[Al-A'raf 7:55], he asks: Does melody and recitation in supplication fall under transgression?
Answer:
Transgression in supplication is when you invoke against someone who does not deserve to be invoked against, when you invoke death upon him, or invoke punishment upon him, and he does not deserve this. This is transgression in supplication. Also, transgression in supplication is when you ask for something that is not fitting for you, such as asking Allah for the ranks of the prophets, or to be in the rank of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), or the like. This is not fitting for you. This is transgression in supplication: asking for something that is not fitting for you.
