Question:
Supplicating with “May Allah extend your life” or “May Allah prolong your life” is not recommended?
Answer:
No, if he says, “In good health,” as in the first hadith, that is permissible except for the supplication. If he says, “In good health,” “May Allah grant you a long life in good health, or in guidance, or in righteousness, or in Islam,” or something similar to that; because Allah may extend his life in evil.
