Does one make du'a before the taslim, even if one prolongs it?

Question:
Does one make du'a before the taslim, even if one prolongs it?

Answer:
One makes du'a, even if one prolongs it. May Allah the Exalted and Majestic not grow weary until you grow weary, so one should make much du'a before the taslim, except if one is the imam. If one is the imam, one should not burden the ma'mum. But if one is praying alone, there is no harm in prolonging the du'a before the taslim.
