The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade reciting the Qur'an in ruku' and sujud, so is it permissible to make du'a' in ruku' and sujud with some of the supplications?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade...
The Shaykh : ...reciting the Qur'an in ruku' and sujud.
The questioner : So is it permissible to make du'a' in ruku' and sujud with some of the supplications found in the Qur'an, especially since they are comprehensive supplications like[Al-Baqarah 2:201]?
The Shaykh : Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 479a He did not say that one should not make du'a' with the Qur'an. So if a person makes du'a' with something from the Qur'an, there is no blame on him, such as the verse the questioner mentioned.The questioner :[Al-Baqarah 2:201] And like His saying, the Exalted: [Ali 'Imran 3:8].
However, if one intends by that to recite the Qur'an, as if he were to recite al-Fatihah, for example, or al-Kafirun, or something similar to that, then that is forbidden. The analogy for this is the person in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah); the person in a state of major ritual impurity does not recite the Qur'an until he performs the full ritual bath (ghusl). So if he makes du'a' with something from the Qur'an, there is nothing wrong with it. If the person in a state of major ritual impurity says "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim" intending the Basmalah and not intending recitation, there is no blame on him. And if the person in a state of major ritual impurity says[Ali 'Imran 3:8], there is no blame on him as long as he intended supplication. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you, O honorable Shaykh. The questioner Muhammad Hamed says.
The Shaykh : ...reciting the Qur'an in ruku' and sujud.
The questioner : So is it permissible to make du'a' in ruku' and sujud with some of the supplications found in the Qur'an, especially since they are comprehensive supplications like
Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."
رَبَّنَا ءاتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الأخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِThe Shaykh : Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And see that I have been forbidden to recite the Qur'an in the state of bowing and prostration.
إني نهيت أن أقرأ القرءان راكعاً أو ساجداًOur Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."
رَبَّنَا ءاتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الأخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ[Who say], "Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.
رَبَّنَا لا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُHowever, if one intends by that to recite the Qur'an, as if he were to recite al-Fatihah, for example, or al-Kafirun, or something similar to that, then that is forbidden.
