The Shaykh : And after that, you say taslim to your right: "As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah," and to your left: "As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah."
And with this, the prayer is concluded.
A person should, if he wishes to supplicate to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), make his supplication before he says taslim, that is, after he has completed the tashahhud and what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded of seeking refuge, he should supplicate with whatever he wishes from the good of this world and the Hereafter.
Is it valid to supplicate for something related to the worldly life?
For example, saying: "O Allah, provide me with a righteous wife," or "a beautiful wife," or "O Allah, provide me with a spacious house," or "a clean car," or the like of that?
Answer: Yes, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Ibn Mas'ud:Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:238, and a person is in need of his Lord in the needs of his religion and the needs of his worldly life, that is, in what he needs in the matter of religion and in what he needs in the matter of the worldly life.
And whoever among the scholars says that one does not supplicate for a matter related to the worldly life, his statement is weak, because it contradicts the generality of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:238.
So if you want to supplicate, supplicate to Allah before you say taslim.
And by this we know, or rather by that we know, that what many people have become accustomed to today, whenever they say taslim from a voluntary prayer, they go to supplicate to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), until they make it one of the regular practices and necessary sunnahs, this is a matter for which there is no evidence, and the Sunnah only came with supplication before the salam.
Yes, this is the manner of the prayer as we know it from the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).

Answer: Yes, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Ibn Mas'ud:
Then let him choose whatever he wishes from supplication.
ثم ليتخير من الدعاء ما شاءAnd whoever among the scholars says that one does not supplicate for a matter related to the worldly life, his statement is weak, because it contradicts the generality of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
