The ruling on supplication without ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
On some nights, I wake up at two in the morning and supplicate to Allah with what is in my heart without performing ablution, and I have not prayed the voluntary prayer. Is this permissible, or is it necessary to perform both ablution and prayer?
Answer:
There is no blame on you for supplicating, even without ablution, and even if you are in a state of major ritual impurity; because purity is not a condition for supplication. This is from the mercy of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); because the servant needs to supplicate at all times. However, doing so while in a state of purity and prayer is closer to being answered, especially during prostration; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Abi Dawud 875Sahih (Al-Albani) It was narrated by Imam Muslim in his Sahih. And success is from Allah.

The nearest a servant come to his Lord is when he is prostrating himself, so make supplication often.
أقرب ما يكون العبد من ربه وهو ساجد فأكثروا الدعاء
