Is the prayer for need prescribed? And what is its method?

Question:
You are asking Your Eminence to speak about the prayer for need: is it prescribed? What is its method? And did it come from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
I do not know of a hadith regarding the prayer for need that can be relied upon. Rather, the hadith came regarding the prayer of repentance and the prayer for guidance: when a person intends to do something and is confused about it, he seeks guidance from Allah in it, prays two rak'ahs, then supplicates to Allah, raising his hands, and supplicates to Him, seeking His guidance with the famous supplication: to the end of the hadith.
And so it is with the prayer of repentance: if a person has sins and wants to purify himself, he prays two rak'ahs, then repents to Allah with a sincere repentance. Prayer is not a condition of repentance, but it is recommended that if he purifies himself, prays two rak'ahs, and repents with a sincere repentance, it is closer to being accepted. Even if he repents while walking, or on the road, or in the house, or lying down, or in any state, the repentance is accepted if its conditions are met: if he feels remorse for the past, abandons the evil deed, and resolves not to return to it, then Allah accepts it from him, whether he is walking, standing, lying down in the house, on the road, or in any place. But if he performs wudu, perfects his purification, then prays two rak'ahs, then raises his hands to his Lord asking Him to bestow upon him repentance, that is more complete and better. Yes.
