Is it permissible to supplicate with the following formula: "My Lord, do not entrust me to anyone, nor make me in need of anyone, and make me independent of everyone, O You to whom belongs all support, and upon whom all reliance is placed, He is the One, the Unique, the Eternal, Who has no partner nor son. O Allah, return me from error to guidance, and keep me away from every sin and distress"?

One must differentiate between two types of supplication (du'a): The first is supplication restricted by a specific time, place, or act of worship. In this type, one must adhere strictly to what is ورد in the , without adding or subtracting anything. The second type is absolute supplication, which involves asking Allah for general and specific needs. It is not a condition for this type of supplication to be explicitly established (in the texts); rather, it suffices that its words are legislatively sound and do not contain sin or severing of kinship ties.
