about the prayer of need.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We say ... there is no prayer with two rak'ahs called the prayer of need?
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner : Some people rely on this hadith, so what is your opinion?
The Shaykh : No, because that is specific to the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah.
The questioner : But if a person stands and prays two rak'ahs, focusing on Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in them, and supplicates after finishing for a need from his needs, is this action permissible without naming it as fulfilling a need?
The Shaykh : It is fine; drawing near to Allah through any obedience is good.
The Shaykh: No.
