The supplication for travel: Is it obligatory for every individual if they are in a group?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the supplication for travel, if we are a group, does it suffice for one person to say it, or must the group say it, with each person saying it individually?
The Shaykh : If he intends to make the supplication for them, there is no harm; that is, he says it while they listen and affirm it, and there is no harm in that. For Allah the Exalted said to Musa when he said:[Yunus 10:88] So what Musa was saying, Allah the Exalted said: [Yunus 10:89] The scholars said: The interpretation of this is that Musa was making the supplication and Harun was affirming it. Yes.
The questioner : That is, one person says it.
The Shaykh : There is no harm in one person saying it, and if every person says it individually, there is no harm. Glory be to You, O Allah. May Allah reward you. May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : If he intends to make the supplication for them, there is no harm; that is, he says it while they listen and affirm it, and there is no harm in that. For Allah the Exalted said to Musa when he said:
Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts so that they will not believe until they see the painful punishment."
