Question:
Assalamoualaikoum shuyukhs,
I have a question with regards to asking duah in sajdah during salaat.
When you ask duah in sajdah, can u ask duah in English in the following?
1) in the sunnah prayer. for example in the last sajdah of the sunnah for fajr
2) in the nawafil prayers such as tahajjud, chaaast, haajat
JazakAllah
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
1. In the actual state of prescribed prayers such as sunnah prayer of Fajr it is sunnah to glorify Allah (SWT) in Arabic as the Prophet did (Subhaana Rabbiyal-A’laa).
2. Other than in the state of prescribed prayers there is no restriction to ask in any language for what you need.
