Question:
Is it permissible for a person to supplicate to Allaah in Salaah (Prayer) in
any language? Will their Salaah be valid?
Answer: The Muslim should supplicate to
Allaah (may He be Exalted) with humility and in secret without asking for
unlawful things. A person may supplicate to Allaah both during Salaah and at
other occasions, in whatever language they speak. Salaah is considered valid
even if the person supplicates to Allaah (may He be Exalted) in a language
other than Arabic. When supplicating to Allaah (may He be Exalted) during Salaah,
a person should use the du’aa’ (supplication) that are authentically reported
from the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) and recite them where
and how the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam)) recited them so as to
follow the example of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam).
Many
scholars wrote books on the du’aa’ and adhkaar of the Prophet (sallallaahu
alayhi wa sallam), such as al-Kalim at-Tayyib by Ibn Taymiyah, al-Waabil
as-Sayyib by Ibn Al-Qayyim, Riyaad As-Saaliheen and al-Adhkaar
by An-Nawawee. You can buy any of these books to know the authentically
reported du’aa’ and Adhkaar, and how and when they should be said. This is
better and of great benefit to you.
May
Allaah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad,
his family, and Companions!
