Is it permissible to supplicate with the words: "Our Lord, do not impose upon us a ruler nor a wise man"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The one who says, "O Allah, distance the ruler from us, and distance the Hakim (wise one/physician) from us," intends for Allah to distance the evil of unjust rulers from him, and not to make him need to go to physicians, by granting him good health. Based on this understanding, there is no harm in this supplication.
