Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I am consistent, praise be to Allah, morning and evening, with this du'a'. But many times, I mean, not right when I wake up, truly, I remember, for example... I remember, for example, while I am praying Fajr, so even from the standpoint of human affection, I make this du'a' during prostration. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh : How did you do it?
The questioner : I mean, by recitingSunan Ibn Majah 3869 three times. So I am truly accustomed to waking up from sleep, and the first thing I do upon waking is to make this du'a'. Likewise, when I enter the mosque, and when I enter Maghrib, sometimes I do not remember immediately when the adhan is called and I stand for prayer, I remember that I spoke, so I want to be the first to seek the good, so I make this du'a' during prostration. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh : It is permissible, it is permissible.
The questioner : Even if the Maghrib prayer is missed and he makes this du'a'?
The Shaykh : It is permissible.
The Shaykh : In both considerations: the evening adhkar at any time in the evening, but this adhkar is a du'a' with prostration, as we all know. So increase in it in du'a', for it is likely that it will be answered for you. Here there are two virtues: a general virtue that is suitable for evening or morning, and a specific virtue, which is prostration.
The questioner : If he commits to it?
The Shaykh : If he commits to it, it is not known, and it is a matter of commitment.
The questioner : I mean, sometimes.
The Shaykh : Sometimes, yes.
The Shaykh : How did you do it?
The questioner : I mean, by reciting
Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'a ismihi shay'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i wa Huwas-Sami'ul-'Alim
بسم الله الذي لا يضر مع اسمه شيء في الأرض ولا في السماء وهو السميع العليمThe Shaykh : It is permissible, it is permissible.
