Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some of the brothers, when you tell them to make du'a for you if they are traveling or going for Hajj, say that it is not permissible to ask anyone to make du'a for you. Is this correct?
Answer:
No, that person is ignorant. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'Umar when he wanted to perform 'Umrah:Sunan Abi Dawud 1498Da'if (Al-Albani) So there is no harm in asking for du'a from one who intends to perform Hajj or 'Umrah or is traveling. There is no objection to that. However, the best and most preferable is for him to make du'a himself and not rely solely on others. Yes.
